Chapter 1271: I want to drink a little wine
In the face of the rebuke of the commander-in-chief, Senior General Ito, the chief of staff of the Southeast Asian Dispatch Army, Major General Kawashima, had the urge to jump up and tear his face and ridicule him, but he could not and did not dare.
Aside from the fact that Ito is his benefactor, he has promoted himself from an obscure artillery commander to the esteemed position of the second person in the dispatch army, even if he has a shallow foundation within the dispatch army and a black eye on the upper line, he does not dare to argue with General Ito, who has just been commended by His Majesty the Emperor and has been running the dispatch army for a long time.
Ito can promote himself, and in the same way, he can also beat himself into the abyss of no return, for the red man in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, General Ito, it is a matter of one sentence, Kawashima does not dare to argue with Ito, but he also doesn't want to be a scapegoat, listen to the old guy, is he going to catch a family?
So, Kawashima held his breath and said extremely respectfully: "Yes, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, you are right, please allow me to report to you the whole process of the battle immediately" Ito was also puzzled, how could more than 18,000 people be beaten into a cold corpse in more than 30 minutes, even if it takes half a day to kill so many chickens, right?
Kawashima's eloquence is good, concisely and concisely describe the process of the battle, among them, there is no lack of adding oil and vinegar, that is to exonerate himself, after listening to Kawashima's words, Ito did not squeak, not that he found out in conscience or introspection and self-blame, but found that he had no reason to accuse Kawashima, at that time in that kind of battlefield situation, even if the emperor Xià came in person, Amaterasu appeared, it was not a good thing.
Of course, if you insist on a big hat on Kawashima's head, it's not that you can't do it, the key is that it doesn't help, it's meaningless, it's the Burmese who lose, and besides, Kawashima still has the value of use. Ito just regretted that there were so many cannon fodder and a wing of the Imperial Army military police, and there were no tanks for the ** division. Cause a little damage, disappointment, gaffe under the table.
Ito's tone became gentle, and he said, "Kawashima-kun, I hope you don't mind what you said just now. Playing a hole card, did not receive the expected effect, I am very sad, you stayed in the front line, supervising the repair of fortifications and outer trenches, by the way, the tank troops of the ** division, are you still in your sight? ”
Kawashima secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he was fortunate not to play a donkey temper. Fight against Ito's top cow, otherwise, he may have suffered an accident by now. It seems that the phrase "endure for a while to avoid disasters", Dad is right, he picked up the binoculars, took a closer look, and reported: "Commander-in-chief, I didn't find the tank units of the ** division, they all disappeared from my sight." ”
Ito was in a hurry again, and he was as anxious as a spark to order the air force to dispatch planes. Even if he cut off his head, he shouted out, and when the plane arrived over Yangon, he couldn't even see the shadow of the tank of the ** division, wouldn't it make that guy from Nomura laugh at himself and put on such a big oolong. Besides, the military police who got into the Burmese Volunteer Corps and a wing of the military police can't get nothing at all, isn't this a big loss?
Ito hurriedly ordered: "Kawashima-kun, order the front-line troops, send more search teams, carry radios, search for the whereabouts and assembly places of the tanks of the ** division, you command in the center, guide the bomber group of the air force, and carry out air strikes on the tank troops of the ** division, I look forward to your good news!" ”
Kawashima's nose is about to be pinched together, with a bitter look on his face, why is General Ito like taking ** medicine? With so many people just getting in, they have to send a small detachment to go deep into the position of the ** division to reconnoitre, isn't this another way to send them to death? However, he did not refute a word, and simply replied: "Yes, immediately carry out the order of the commander-in-chief!" ”
Tang Qiuli sat comfortably in the chair, looking at Chang Feng who answered the phone, and agreed with a "uh-huh" in his mouth, while writing something on the paper, from Chang Feng's expression, he could see that the battle just now was a good fight.
Sure enough, Chang Feng put down the phone and said: "Division commander, I just received a call from Deputy Division Commander Feng and Commander Li, the battle has ended victoriously, and more than 18,000 Burmese volunteers have been annihilated, and there is an unexpected gain, the Japanese military police who took out a wing, and the troops and tank units involved in the attack have retreated to their original positions in accordance with the order. ”
Tang Qiuli and Tang Qiusheng asked almost at the same time: "A wing of Japanese military police?" What's going on? In the Burmese Volunteer Corps, how did you get involved with the "Day" himself? ”
Chang Feng replied with a smile: "According to Deputy Division Commander Feng and Commander Li, the Japanese military police of this wing "are following behind the Burmese Volunteer Brigade, and it is estimated that it is the Supervisory Team. Several people burst out laughing.
At 11:57, the Hanoi radar station reported that 52 Japanese planes were flying over the airspace south of Hanoi and were being tracked and confirmed. ”
In the past few days, all the telegrams handled by Liu Xinlan have been reported to Tang Qiusheng without exception, as for the division commander Tang Qiuli, he was simply ignored by this girl, Liu Xinlan finished sending the telegram to Tang Qiusheng, and glanced at Tang Qiuli as if demonstrating.
Tang Qiuli could only smile bitterly, Liu Xinlan did this, it was also in line with the procedure, no one could find fault, Tang Qiusheng was the commander-in-chief of the Yangon Campaign, coordinating and commanding the overall situation, Tang Qiusheng took the telegram, looked at Tang Qiuli with a helpless face, and said with a smile: "Staff Officer Liu, in the future, similar telegrams and intelligence, as long as the division commander is there, it is better to show the division commander first." ”
Liu Xinlan said unwillingly: "You are the commander-in-chief of the battle!" Tang Qiusheng replied more simply: "But he is the division commander!" The room full of people laughed out loud at the witty conversation between the two, and they were not at all nervous about the appearance of the Japanese planes.
Liu Xinlan replied reluctantly: "Yes, carry out the commander-in-chief's order" Then, she glared quietly, looking very proud, looking at her Tang Qiuli, she thought in her heart: "Hmph, who made you dishonest?" Coincidentally, this man was squeezing his eyes at him, and a touch of crimson climbed onto Liu Xinlan's pretty face.
She remembered that this guy's dishonest hands almost traveled all over her body, but fortunately she held the last position, otherwise, the cheap would have been taken up by this bad guy, but she didn't know how long she could hold on to her resistance? However, that feeling is very strange, it's just the last knot in my heart, and I haven't let go of it yet!
Tang Qiuli's attention had been attracted by the telegram, and after reading it, he raised his head and said: "Obviously, the Japanese planes are rushing for our tank troops, Ito has lost all his artillery, and he has no weapons to deal with our tanks, so he can only dispatch planes, but, some don't understand, the Japanese reinforcement planes, just arrived on Hainan Island, they were in a hurry to participate in the war, it seems to be in a hurry, not in line with the norm?" ”
Tang Qiusheng and Chang Feng both nodded in agreement, although they are not professional flight commanders, they still know a lot about the requirements for the group to participate in air battles, Tang Qiuli smiled coldly, and said: "Regardless of him, since he is in a hurry to send him to death, he will meet Ito's wishes, order Vientiane and Chiang Mai radar stations to determine the type of Japanese aircraft, and order Le Yiqin to dispatch fighters more than three times that of Japanese planes to rush to the airspace of Yangon, and be sure to completely annihilate this Japanese aircraft group." ”
Tang Qiusheng said: "Three? More than one hundred and fifty fighters, is it too much? Is it necessary? What a waste! ”
Tang Qiuli replied: "In the war of annihilation, it will exceed the number of Japanese aircraft, five times the number of planes, ten times the annihilation, I still have less!" However, I like this, piecemeal, small casualties, big gains, Ito's family money that he managed to save up a few times, and then it's gone, isn't it a happy thing! ”
It may be that he is in a happy mood, Tang Qiuli unconsciously dragged up the text, Tang Qiusheng shook his head helplessly, recently, his cousin, seems to have recovered the hearts of many teenagers, perhaps, it has something to do with this second lieutenant Liu Xinlan, who is almost a copy of Xiaoling, and he is pleased to look at it.
Liu Xinlan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said secretly in her heart: "What, I don't understand literature and science, pretending to be Sven, like an old pedant, sour, I'm about to lose my teeth!" ”
In northern Burma, Myitkyina, at the field airfield of the Southern Flight Group of the ** Division Air Corps, Commander Le Yiqin was in the war room, anxiously swaying back and forth, muttering in his mouth, "I'm dying, why hasn't the division commander given an order?" The little devil's plane has already passed through Hanoi, and if it doesn't take off, it won't be able to catch up! ”
The radar stations in various places had already reported the dispatch of Japanese planes to the combat department of the flight group, and the telegram to the division was still sent from here, Le Yiqin knew this information earlier than Tang Qiuli, and Le Yiqin, a well-known militant in the division, could he not be in a hurry?
Just when Le Yiqin was anxious, the head of the Operations Department of the Southern Flight Group, holding a telegram with a happy face, hurriedly came in, "Commander, the division commander called, ordering our unit to take off immediately and rush to the airspace of Yangon. ”
Le Yiqin snatched the telegram, read it quickly, laughed, and said: "Battle alert, the first echelon and the second echelon will immediately rise into the air, and the third echelon will be ready for combat at the first level. ”
After speaking, he ran out of the war room like the wind and ran towards his landline, the old rule, every battle must be personally participated, the war chief did not even have a chance to shout, and the commander disappeared in front of his eyes.
Looking at one fighter plane after another that went straight into the blue sky, the chief of operations could not help but admire the judgment of the commander, how could he know the number of fighters ordered by the division commander to dispatch? And prepare in advance, as soon as the order arrives, take off immediately, without a minute of delay, admire!
