Desperate Matsui Ishone

In the headquarters of the Central China Front in Nanjing, the military confrontation between the enemy and our armies for several days made General Matsui Ishine even more confident in his judgment a few days ago that the East China Field Army was not capable of launching an attack on him a few days ago due to the lack of heavy weapons. As a result, as a commander, he is becoming more and more relieved about the current situation, which seems to be 'becoming clearer'. Gradually, he began to focus his energy on the several troops that returned to the city of Nanjing. Thinking about it, after a week, how to rely on these two reinforcement troops to completely annihilate the main force of the East China Field Army in one fell swoop.

With the advent of night, after determining that the three cities surrounded by the East China Field Army did not have any accidents within a day. General Matsui Ishone's nervous heart finally let go and prepared to go home for a good rest. However, at this moment, a rush of footsteps reached his ears.

For a while, General Matsui Ishone, who was very alert to all kinds of dangers, immediately frowned. Because he clearly knew that the footsteps outside came from his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Tanaka. And as his partner, unless something big happens, Lieutenant General Tanaka's footsteps will definitely not seem so hurried and messy.

As expected, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Tanaka, changed his previous serious habits, did not knock on the door, pushed the door directly, and walked quickly to the desk of the commander, General Matsui Ishone. Then, in his slightly panicked voice, he reported anxiously.

"Your Excellency Commander, I just received an urgent call from Taizhou....something happened in Taizhou City...."

"Nani, Taizhou City, do people want to attack our Taizhou City regardless of losses when there is no siege artillery. However, the commander should not be unaware that even if he can capture Taizhou City, he will pay a very heavy price in the entire siege battle, which they cannot afford? Admiral Matsui Ishone asked incredulously.

As for the rhetorical question of the commander in front of him, he had already received the telegram. Lieutenant General Tanaka, who had already learned about the specific situation through the contents of the telegram, could only smile bitterly. Because, the conclusion that there was no siege artillery in the hands of the East China Field Army was discussed by him and the commander in front of him. And now, the siege battle that took place in Taizhou City is like a resounding slap in the face, mercilessly overturning the conclusions of the two....

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Tanaka could only reply very helplessly: "Your Excellency Commander, the specific situation, you will be clear after reading this telegram..."

With a suspicious spirit, he took the telegram from the hands of the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Tanaka. General Matsui Ishine frowned and began to read carefully. However, in just a moment, a face was immediately enveloped by a shocked god. Then, regardless of his identity as a commander, he exclaimed in front of the chief of staff in front of him.

"How is it possible, more than a hundred large-caliber siege artillery, and they are also equipped with large-caliber cannons and howitzers, which are also very rare for the Empire... Tanaka-kun, there is no mistake in the content of the telegram, where did the East China Field Army get so many artillery, how is it possible...."

Facing the inquiring eyes of the commander in front of him, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Tanaka, wanted to give a negative answer. However, in the face of the hard facts, I had to nod against my will, and then replied in the affirmative.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I have confirmed this telegram again and again, and there is absolutely no problem..."

"Eight grid tooth road, how can this be. Impossible, absolutely impossible ... No, the East China Field Army, so many large-caliber artillery pieces appeared out of thin air. So, where did their artillery come from..."After a brief period of anger, General Matsui Ishone immediately thought of the crux of the matter and asked loudly to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Your Excellency, this is a telegram just sent by the Haimen County Garrison Command: Nantong City, where the heavy artillery brigade directly under the Central China Front Army is stationed, was occupied by the East China Field Army three days ago. It is reported that before the fall of Nantong, the entire Nantong City was emptied, and at the same time, the people mobilized its most elite special operations division to launch a special operation against Nantong City. In the end, the Nantong garrison was wiped out before it had time to send any warning news to the outside world. More importantly, after the occupation of Nantong City, Nantong has been subject to military control. Our intelligence officers, after breaking through the heavy burden of people and paying a huge price, rushed to Haimen County to pass on the news of Nantong's loss..."Lieutenant General Tanaka replied in a low voice. , "Nantong City, Bageya Road, cunning people, cunning Liu Hua, we have been fooled again....bastard, my heavy artillery brigade..."

However, as the chief of staff of the Central China Front, Lieutenant General Tanaka, who has a deep understanding of the equipment of the heavy artillery brigade and the strength of the troops, and the number of equipment, did not have the heart to consider the heavy artillery brigade that had changed hands at this moment. Instead, he set his sights on the city of Taizhou, which may fall again at any time, and even the two cities of Yangzhou and Nanjing, which may be destroyed by the heavy artillery brigade at any time.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Tanaka didn't care about any superiors and subordinates, and said directly: "Your Excellency, the heavy artillery brigade has changed hands and has fallen into the hands of the East China Field Army. It is doubtful that the urgency of the current delay is how to solve the predicament faced by our Central China Front. ”

"The heavy artillery brigade has changed hands, coupled with the large number of shells hoarded in Nantong City, our opponents, at least for a year, will not worry about shells. More importantly, with the help of these artillery, the East China Field Army's ability to attack fortified positions will be multiplied several times. At present, the predicament faced by Taizhou City is an ironclad fact. So, I think we have to make a decision right away. Otherwise, the three field divisions of our Central China Front stationed in these three cities will once again fall into a crisis...."Pointing to the operational map in front of him, Lieutenant General Tanaka reminded bluntly.

The reminder of the chief of staff made General Matsui Ishine quickly react from the shock just now. However, as soon as he thought of the specific content of the telegram just now, the face of General Matsui Ishone, like the unpredictable weather, was instantly enveloped by a thick god of despair. Then, with a long sigh, he said.

"Tanaka-kun, judging from this telegram, our Taizhou City has reached a critical juncture of life and death... If nothing else, the huge Taizhou City, including a field division stationed in Taizhou City, and tens of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers, will be shattered on the battlefield because of our misjudgment..."

Hearing the commander's answer in front of him, the tone of despair was everywhere. Lieutenant General Tanaka, who was deeply aware of the state of the commander in front of him and decided the fate of the entire Central China Front, hurriedly persuaded.

"Your Excellency, Commander, even if Taizhou is not saved. There are hundreds of thousands of imperial troops in Yangzhou, including the city of Nanjing, where our Central China Front Army is stationed, waiting for your command....Your Excellency, Commander, I beg you to cheer up and continue to command the troops to fight against the cunning men..."

For a while, in the face of the repeated consolation of the chief of staff, in his heart, General Matsui Ishone, who had already been shrouded in despair, immediately fell into deep contemplation.

One minute, two minutes, just when the anxious look on Lieutenant General Tanaka's face became thicker and thicker, the eyes of General Matsui Ishine finally showed a hint of cunning. Then, a hint of perseverance slowly appeared on his face.

"Tanaka-kun, what you said is very correct. Even if all the Imperial Army soldiers stationed in Taizhou City are killed, there are still many more Yellow Army soldiers waiting for me to command. Wait for me, lead the remaining Imperial troops, and avenge them...."

"Cunning man, cunning Liu Hua, the duel between us is far more than these few games, the first game, the second game, including now, you have won. However, I, Matsui Ishine, will not give up, and I believe that one day, the heroic and fearless Imperial Army, under my command, will be able to defeat you, defeat the East China Field Army, and achieve the final victory...."As he spoke, a trace of murderous aura slowly appeared on General Matsui Ishone's face.

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Commander is wise and humble to believe. The heroic Central China Front, under the command of Your Excellency the Commander, will definitely be able to achieve the final victory...."Lieutenant General Tanaka breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said with a relaxed face.

"No, Tanaka-kun, I can't solve the cunning people with my strength alone. What we have to do is to work together to solve the predicament encountered by our army and extricate hundreds of thousands of imperial troops from this predicament..."

Although it is easy to say, after really connecting with the current battle situation, whether it is General Matsui Ishine, who is full of confidence, or Lieutenant General Tanaka, who has just breathed a sigh of relief, the faces of both of them are at the same time, and there is a god of embarrassment.

Because, as long as anyone with a little military common sense knows that in order to solve the dilemma faced by hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers, the first problem that two people need to face is to know how to make trade-offs. And in the middle of this trade-off, the most important point is that the Central China Front wants troops or cities....
