Kawashima Wu thought about it for a long time, broke up and crumpled all the things that happened this morning, strung them back and forth, and came to a conclusion, Commander-in-Chief Ito, who fell for the devil Tang Qiuli, of course, including himself, this Devil Tang Qiuli, endless means, every step, is aimed at Commander-in-Chief Ito's psychological weaknesses, prescribing the right medicine, it's terrible.

This is an afterthought, Kawashima knows its weight, and if he is blunt, then isn't it a straw bag to say that Commander-in-Chief Ito is a fool? After much thought, Kawashima decided, not to say, that he believed in the wisdom of His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, as well as himself, that he would find the traps in it, and that his self-realization was much deeper than being reminded by others.

What's more, as a subordinate of His Excellency the General, he is suspected of being a traitor, and one is not good, Chapter 1275

Fighting this black cauldron that has been defeated many times in the nest, maybe carrying it on himself, isn't that a matter of burning himself, a fool's job.

Kawashima picked up the phone heavily, "Commander-in-chief, the air battle in Yangon has ended, the air force raided the air formation of the tank unit assembly place of the ** division, all the jade shattered, and the commander of the team, Takasaki Daisa, was martyred, and the ** division tanks did not suffer any losses. ”

Things that you have to know sooner or later, such a secret can't be kept, so Kawashima didn't plan to beat around the bush, and directly said the result, and then,

He took the telephone receiver and opened his ears, ready to withstand the thunderous wrath of His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief.

Unexpectedly, Ito didn't speak for a long time, and then, a weak voice came to say, "Kawashima-kun has worked hard, you rush back to the headquarters, let's study the next battle plan" Kawashima was stunned, from the early morning to noon, General Ito didn't mean to be angry at all, this is too abnormal.

If Commander-in-Chief Ito is furious, roaring on the phone, scolding the heavens and the earth, or even scolding himself. If you want to send yourself to a military court, Kawashima will not be surprised, but it is so silent, Kawashima's heart. On the contrary, there is no bottom, he can't guess this moody boss, to chapter 1275

What is the idea of fighting in the nest, with a nervous mood, he rushed back to the headquarters of the dispatch army with his head and his head drooping.

Ito was a hundred times more depressed and troubled than Kawashima, and he asked the commander of the gendarmerie who was responsible for searching for the scouts of the ** division in the city of Yangon. How is the hunting operation going, answering his news, making Ito angry, "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, after more than 50 hours of large-scale search in the city, except for the thirty-seven scouts of the ** division who were killed, there is no news about the rest. The area you designated has been searched and no trace of the enemy has been found. ”

This gendarmerie commander. also added a very vivid metaphor "In the eyes of the humble position, the remaining scouts of the ** division are like evaporating from the world" is this metaphor, which made His Excellency the commander-in-chief furious, not only scolded the commander of the military police to the point of blood spraying, one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, what a stupid pig plus a stupid person, brain damage and imbecile, premature birth with polio. Your mother is out of the wall, your wife brings you a green hat, and so on.

Anyway, it was Japan's national scolding, and from General Ito's mouth, it gushed out like a surging river, and the scolding was hearty. The spitting stars wet the telephone receiver, and finally, ordered this unlucky gendarmerie commander to dig three feet into the ground in Yangon, and also to find the ** division scout who was hiding like a mouse, and if he couldn't get the soldier's head, he would count your head, and he couldn't even commit suicide by caesarean section.

Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, who had just put down the phone and had a dry mouth, had not had time to drink his saliva and catch his breath, when the communications staff officer added fuel to the fire and delivered a telegram from Lieutenant General Nomura, commander of the Dispatch Army Air Force.

After reading the telegram, Ito's nest fire, which had not yet dissipated, became more and more raging, and the flames erupted directly from the nostrils, ears and eyes, and the little staff officer who sent the telegram couldn't see the level of his eyebrows and eyes, nor did he notice that Ito's face was purple, and added a sentence "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, Commander Nomura is in a hurry to wait for the call." ”

Okay, just this sentence, ignited Ito's anger, the little staff officer unfortunately became the object of his anger His Excellency the commander-in-chief, a big mouth, beaten like a pig's head, and at the end, when the chest was a heart-warming foot, the poor little staff officer, his mouth was bleeding, his eyes rolled, and he fainted on the spot.

General Ito didn't even look at it and ordered the guards to "drag it out!" Two guards with big shoulders and round waists came up, dragged the little staff officer who was still unconscious upside down like dogs, and dragged him out.

I don't blame Ito for being angry, Lieutenant General Nomura's telegram is too outrageous: "General Ito, this time Your Excellency ordered the air force to fight, so that the result of the total annihilation of the army, beforehand, I have warned that the air force does not have the ability to immediately participate in the battle of Rangoon, but Your Excellency turned a deaf ear, resulting in the loss of a quarter of the aircraft and excellent pilots of the air force that had just recovered, obviously, Your Excellency does not understand the basic principles of aviation operations, I will reserve the right to appeal to the Aviation Department of the base camp, and I will also take your orders, The original article was submitted to the base camp. ”

He didn't even call Ito's official title, so he added a few words: "It is precisely because of your blind command of a layman and a fool that you will lose so many of my planes and pilots, so you can do it yourself, wait for my complaint letter, let's go to the base camp to fight a lawsuit!" We have proof. ”

Ito is going crazy, Nomura, this bastard, who has no superiors, dares to threaten himself, and he is against the sky! Am I willing to have such a result? Although the air force is a dual command system, with the base camp aviation department hanging on it, your Nomura is still under my command, and your air force is still the battle sequence of our Southeast Asian dispatch force.

Therefore, Ito's reply to Nomura was very simple: "Rangoon lost the first air battle, you, Nomura, as a direct commander, cannot escape the blame, and I will investigate the responsibility for the failure, if you consider resigning, I will give you a decent reason to step down, otherwise, you will not be able to escape the disposal of my Southeast Asian dispatch military law, so you can do it yourself, think clearly, you don't have to reply immediately, give you a day, at that time, my military police will go to Hainan Island." ”

After gritting his teeth and sending a telegram back to Nomura, Ito was dizzy and dizzy, and he didn't want to think about it, Yangon was surrounded by ** division troops on three sides, and the water was impassable, and his military police had long wings and flew over? Therefore, his words to threaten Nomura were just empty words, and he could only send a telegram to let out this evil breath.

After receiving a call from Chief of Staff Kawashima, Ito was sore and weak, as if he had pulled out his bones, and he had no strength to be angry, he had to consider the consequences of a strict zhòng, before the reinforcements arrived, whether the imperial army troops in Yangon could withstand the ** division troops, an attack like today, he lost his troops and lost his generals, and Tang Qiuli's troops retreated.

Among them, of course, there are reasons why he is too impatient, but the first division troops, the exposed combat effectiveness and ability to attack fortifications, the strong artillery superiority, and the use of armored troops, all make Ito feel uneasy, Ito admitted that he was in a hurry in a series of battles this morning, but he did not admit that he was in Tang Qiuli's place.

He attributed this failure to the inferiority of troops and firepower, if he had so many planes, artillery and tanks, nearly a million soldiers, and he commanded himself, he would also be free and invincible, and the world could go everywhere, Ito had never looked forward to the reinforcements of the four divisions and the arrival of the Navy's Third Fleet, although he was not quite on the right path with Hasegawa Kiyoshi.

Before the reinforcements arrived, Ito had to find a way to hold Yangon, although he knew that it was very difficult, not to let Rangoon become a ruin, and the more than 200,000 soldiers of the dispatch army, all of them were broken, and the problem could be solved, I am afraid that when the time comes, the rubble everywhere and the corpses of the imperial soldiers will not be able to stop the footsteps of the soldiers of the ** division, and Tang Qiuli's determination to capture Yangon.

Ito pondered, there is no better trick, as for the outer trench, the artillery of the ** division bombs it at night, and the method of forcing the Burmese coolies to repair it during the day does not work very well, if Tang Qiuli follows the method of last night and grabs the medicine according to the prescription, the outer trench still cannot block the assault of the tank troops of the ** division, and the outer trench is lost, which means that the first line of defense on the outskirts of the city will be broken through soon.

In the next street battle, the situation was not very good, Ito had seen the power of the artillery fire of the ** division, the fortifications and firepower of those street battles, Ito knew better in his heart, no matter how strong the building was, it could not withstand the bombardment of artillery, Tang Qiuli's troops had the ability to blow up every offensive line with shells.

If Ito knew that Tang Qiuli didn't want to blow Yangon into ruins, and delayed launching a general attack, his heart would fall into his stomach very steadily, and he wouldn't be so worried that his intestines would be about to break like now.

Chief of Staff Kawashima came back, reluctantly stepped into the war room, first observed Ito's face and expression, found that there was no sign of anger or cannibalism, a little relieved, and said cautiously: "Commander-in-chief, I'm back." ”

Ito woke up from his state of contemplation, saw Kawashima, his eyes lit up, and greeted him cordially: "Kawashima-kun has worked hard, please take a seat" Kawashima was a little flattered, and he didn't know why he was treated like this.

Ito had just been angry with Nomura's bastard, and when he saw Kawashima, this chief of staff who had never complained and was loyal to himself, not to mention how kind it was, how pleasing to the eye, even that knife face, Ito felt that it was exhausting, compared with Nomura, Kawashima was undoubtedly his most trustworthy confidant.

Ito didn't care about putting up the stinky frame of the commander-in-chief, and shook out all his troubles and worries, he himself was out of options, and hoped that Kawashima could find a good way to support the arrival of reinforcements.

Kawashima was very moved, this is the trust of His Excellency the General in himself, after Ito finished speaking, he looked at Kawashima who was racking his brains, and seemed to see the trick from his knife face.

Suddenly, Kawashima raised his head, his eyes flashed with a dark, cold light, and seeing Ito's whole body, Kawashima said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, there is a way to ensure that the Rangoon defense line is impregnable. ”
