Three hundred and eighty-five. The death of Ogisu Libing
Guo Yunfeng was "martyred".
This was the largest loss of the Tiger Guards Brigade since its inception.
Wang Weiyi knew what was going on, and he would leave soon.
There are only two days left in the end.
With the annihilation of the Ueno detachment, the 13th Division had no way to organize a large-scale offensive at all, and with only two infantry wings, an engineer wing and a cavalry brigade, the Ogishu troops had no way to face the impregnable town of Jiuko.
At the same time, the Tiger Guards Brigade, which had completed the annihilation operation against the Ueno detachment, quickly returned to the town of Jiuko.
In the 27th year of the Republic of China, on April 5, 1938, Wang Weiyi launched a counteroffensive against the 13th Division with the strength of a reinforced brigade and three regiments.
Counteroffensive, constant counteroffensive, destroy the enemy's offensive with counter-offensives again and again!
There is no way for the Ogishu soldiers to do it.
When the news of the rout of the Ueno detachment came, the entire 13th Division fell into chaos, and the morale of the already low morale quickly declined.
Wang Weiyi - Tiger Guard Brigade, this has become an invincible force in the hearts of the 13th Division.
God of War - Wang Weiyi!
If the remaining strength of the 13th Division of Qingtian fought with all its might, it might not have a chance, but when morale and confidence were completely lost, the war would not have a chance to continue.
From the overwhelming momentum in the Battle of Shanghai to the panic like a lost dog at this time, Ogizhou Libing and his 13th Division have experienced a journey of ups and downs.
The positions were not yet completely broken through by the Chinese troops, although the morale was depressed. However, the Japanese were able to build an effective defense.
Of course, such a defense is completely passive
Someone must be responsible for failure! Especially such a terrible fiasco!
Matsui Ishine sent a secret telegram to Ogisu Libing, and the telegram said. The all-out offensive of the Central China Front caused domestic discontent from the very beginning. Although the all-out war faction currently has the upper hand in China, with the crushing defeat on the battlefield in China, the local war faction has continued to attack. The Total War faction is already under a lot of pressure.
Sometimes, some scapegoats are needed to ease the pressure and quell domestic grievances. Domestic supporters of Matsui Ishine have already given hints to the commander of the Central China Front. I hope that he can resign from the post of commander for physical reasons and return to the country with dignity, and even the continuator has found a good job for Matsui Ishine.
Matsui Ishine was the first victim of the Japanese Total War faction. And Ogishu Libing is the second victim.
He was the division commander of the 13th Division, and he was inescapable of the fiasco on the battlefield, in Matsui Ishone's secret telegram. It is strongly implied that Ogisu should be used in a decent way. to undo the effects of the fiasco.
Decent way? Ogisu Libing quickly understood
"Commander, this is going to make me kill myself." Ogishu Libing sighed.
"No, Your Excellency Division Commander, the responsibility for failure cannot be entirely borne by you!" Yusaburo Tsukuda said loudly, "No matter who it is, it is impossible to do better than you here. Besides, I'm not completely defeated yet."
"It's irretrievable, and now even His Excellency the Commander is about to resign" Ogisu Libing laughed miserably: "Now it's not a war decision, but a political decision." Those factions in the country are fighting for power. Any victory or defeat can be seized by them. and used as a powerful weapon against the other side, we are all scapegoats"
"Then please let me die for you!" Yusaburo Tsukuda raised his voice.
Ogizhou Libing shook his head: "You are just a big Zuo, Tenant Yongjun, being a scapegoat also needs to be qualified, I don't mean to insult you, we have lost so many high-ranking generals, only the death of me, a lieutenant general, can calm the domestic dissatisfaction." ”
Yusaburo Tsukuda couldn't say anything.
No one can die in place of His Excellency, the commander of the division!
He was eager to question the opposition in the country, did they see the front-line soldiers fighting? What they are facing is an immortal military genius who has only produced one in hundreds of years in the Chinese army:
Wang Weiyi!
Who will be able to defeat him? No one! No one else can command here!
However, why should His Excellency the Division Commander bear such a responsibility?
"Tenant Yongjun, I will meet those people's demands." Ogizhou Libing was expressionless: "The 13th Division, temporarily under your command, remember, we must maintain the current position, this is our current bottom line." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, Division Commander." The flesh on Tsukuku's face twitched: "When the war is won, I will let everyone in the country know how you fought bravely!" ”
Ogizhou Libing smiled slightly: "Tenant Yongjun, please stay away for a while, I want to prepare for the future." ”
Yusaburo nodded silently and turned away silently
Ogisu Libing sent letters to his wives and children, telling them about his fiasco in China and what had happened here, so that people could know the truth
Then he thought about it for a moment and wrote another letter to his opponent Wang Weiyi.
It was a respectable follow-up, and even though he defeated himself again and again, he still deserved his respect.
"Regardless of your political stance, I am amazed by your outstanding performance on the battlefield and I look forward to meeting you, but it is impossible I don't know how the war between China and Japan will end, but I believe that your and my names will be remembered by everyone, of course, in the future story, I am a loser, and you will appear as a victor I want to ask you for one thing, I have decided to cut my stomach, to wash away my shame, and I will order my subordinates to bury me in Jiangjia Village, please order your men not to destroy my grave, I want to see who won the war at the last of the day, I have to see with my own eyes, so please agree to this request of mine no matter what."
This is a very strange request.
Ogisu Libing actually hated those people in the country to the extreme.
He wanted to see what kind of way his successor would go to war. He wanted to see who would win the all-out war between China and Japan.
When he had done all these things, he called in Yong Saburo and asked him to send an officer to bring his letter to Wang Weiyi.
He believed that Wang Weiyi would agree to his request
There's nothing left to be nostalgic about.
Yusaburo Tsukuda is a master of kendo, and Ogisu Libing designated him as his "wrong person".
Ogisu changed into a brand new lieutenant general's uniform, and in his opinion, there was nothing more grand than a military uniform. Then, he sang a poem he had written himself, and then looked up: "Are you ready?" ”
Tsukudo Yusaburo nodded: "General, I'm ready." ”
"So let's get started"
Ogisu took his knife and stabbed himself in the abdomen, slicing from left to right, and then making a second stab slightly towards his intestines, causing his intestines to overflow
When the second knife began, Yusaburo Tsukuda began to "hold his head" and swung his knife to cut off the neck of Ogishu Libing, but it was not completely cut off, so that the head and neck were still slightly implicated.
The body of Ogisu Ritage fell to the ground
Ogisu Tatsuhei, a native of Aichi Prefecture, the fourth son of Ito Matsuzaemon, and the stepson of Ogishu Ikujiro, a second-class army medical officer. In August 1935, he was the chief of staff of the Taiwan Army, and assisted the three commanders of Terauchi Shouichi, Yanagawa Heisuke, and Toshiroku Hatata. In March 1937, he was promoted to lieutenant general, as an assistant to Okamura Ningji, he became the headquarters of the 2nd Division, and stayed behind as the commander of the 2nd Division, after the outbreak of the 77 Incident, the 2nd Division was renamed the 13th Division, and on September 10, he led the division to join Matsui Shigen's Shanghai Dispatch Army, participated in the Battle of Songhu, crossed the Suzhou Creek under the cover of strong firepower, and stormed the defense center of the Chinese army, Dachang Town!
is such a Japanese army lieutenant general, in the Changshu battlefield, but suffered an unprecedented defeat!
On April 5, 1938, in the face of a counteroffensive by the Chinese army, Ogisu Tatsu received a secret telegram, the so-called "Matsui Secret Den", and subsequently committed suicide by disembowelment in order to appease discontent in Japan.
He is nothing more than a scapegoat.
However, the death of Ogisu Libing was the highest-ranking Japanese officer to die on the battlefield in China after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese full-scale war.
This is just the beginning, and in the future, more and more Japanese officers will die on the battlefields of China
Wang Weiyi held a letter in his hand, and then handed it to Ouyang Yu, who came to him, and Ouyang Yu looked at it: "Do you really want to keep the grave of the Dizhou Libing?" ”
"Why not?" Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "Since he wants to watch Japan's failure, then let him watch it." After the end of the war, tell everyone that here, there was once a Japanese army lieutenant general who died, and he buried himself in Jiangjia Village, in order to see the defeat of Japan with his own eyes. ”
"Yes, I see." Ouyang Yu nodded.
It should be said that the decisive battle of Changshu Tiger Guards Brigade has been victorious, although the 13th Division on the opposite side has not been completely annihilated, but this is not important.
From now on, the 13th Division will not be able to exert its due combat power on the Chinese battlefield, because they have already been scared!
I was scared by Wang Weiyi, I was scared by the Tiger Guard Brigade, and I was scared by the Chinese army!
What a glorious miracle! No one will forget this miracle, both now and in the future. Everyone will remember the name:
Wang Weiyi!
"Rambler, the self-transformation and upgrading of the base is about to be completed, and the countdown to the time and space shuttle of the Ziguang Military Base is thirty-seven hours!" (To be continued.) )
