The commander-in-chief of Japan's South Pacific Dispatch Force, Senior General Ito Yanzaburo, personally concurrently served as the commander of the 14th Army, which was mainly attacking Luzon Island, and the former commander of the army, Lieutenant General Yoshihiko Harata, had no choice but to be aggrieved by His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief as a deputy.

Everyone didn't understand that General Ito's approach, could it be that commanding one army was more fulfilling than commanding six armies?

Only Ito himself knows in his heart why he does not hesitate to surrender his identity, all because of the fire in his heart!

This fire needed to be vented, and the Americans became the best targets, so after the landing of the 14th Army on Luzon, Ito's order to his divisions was: "Ignore the attack of a single qiē!" Attack and attack! In any case, don't pause! ”

This fire, in the final analysis, was given by the devil Tang Qiuli, who was defeated in the Indochina Peninsula and retreated to the small land of Singapore on the Malay Peninsula, for more than a year, that Tang Qiuli put hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line of Kuala Lumpur, which is close to Singapore, how many times, he woke up from a nightmare, and he was in a cold sweat, and he forcibly suppressed the "bang" beating heart.

The qiē in the dream made him seem to see the reality, the soldiers of the independent division, the tide rushed over, he was like a helpless dead wood, a wave rolled over, and he sank into the bottomless abyss, more than a year, more than a year of mental torture, so that General Ito's psychology was a little perverted.

He restrained the troops, faced Tang Qiuli's soldiers, made compromises, couldn't fight back, scolded and didn't fight back, and said it nicely, called lying on salary and tasting courage, but Ito himself knew that the insults he received during this period were like walking on thin ice and approaching the abyss, and that devil used the Great Japanese Empire as an ATM, and a mouth was hundreds of tons of gold.

The empire still doesn't dare not give! I had to personally send someone to send it over with a smiling face, and I had been guarding Singapore for more than a year, so that General Ito Yanzaburo would be there. The hatred for Tang Qiuli has been engraved into his bones, why bear the burden of humiliation? It was to preserve a strategic springboard for the Japanese Empire to attack the islands of the South Pacific.

Ito did it. The troops of the Imperial Japanese Army set out from Singapore to attack the Americans, and Ito knew better in his heart that with the current strength of the empire, he could only choose one target to attack, and Tang Qiuli could not shake it for the time being, and the Americans were the only choice. However, Ito was confident that in the near future, he would command the Imperial Army that defeated the Americans and return to Indochina.

"The devil Tang Qiuli is looking forward to the moment of a decisive battle with you!" Ito's eyes were dark, and he gritted his teeth and thought to himself. is no longer on the battlefield in Luzon, but fantasizing, leaving Tang Qiuli and his soldiers. The moment when the wolf bèi was unbearable.

Lieutenant General Yoshihiko Haruta, who was demoted to the deputy commander of the 14th Army in a daze, looked at the spirit of His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, and was somewhat in a trance, and cautiously reminded: "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, at present, the advance speed of the Imperial Army's troops is very fast, which has exceeded the pre-war expectations, and the 103rd Division of the 14th Army, which is advancing the fastest, has advanced to the vicinity of Batangas, the 104th Division. It has advanced to the vicinity of Amohir. ”

Looking at the face of Commander-in-Chief Ito Furui Buha, Yoshihiko Haruta continued: "Both divisions sent battle reports, and during the advancement, there was no large-scale fighting, that is, the living force of the American army. And not all of them were annihilated, and according to the intelligence services, the American troops on Luzon numbered as many as 280,000 people, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, I fear, this is a conspiracy of the Americans! ”

Ito raised his eyelids, glanced at Yoshihiko Haruta, and said in a cold voice: "Haruta-kun, what do you think the Americans will conspiracy with?" ”

Yoshihiko Haruta is a veritable commander of the 14th Army, if it weren't for Ito's horizontal insertion, this battle himself would be the commander, and it was by no means such a way of fighting, between the attacking divisions and regiments, there was a lack of necessary horizontal connections, and moreover, the divisions that attacked too quickly, without waiting for the follow-up troops to keep up, blindly attacked fiercely, in their own opinion, the fight was disorderly!

But I don't know that the attacking troops are out of touch with the second-line troops, which contains great danger, the 14th Army is broken, Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, you can pat your ass and leave, leaving yourself to clean up the mess, since Your Excellency the General asked, I will tell the truth.

Yoshihiko Haruta replied carefully: "Judging by the humble position, this is the Americans' intention to shrink their forces and strengthen the depth of their defense, and to seek an opportunity to divide and encircle our outstanding troops, the 103rd and 104th Divisions, the current position, is very likely to be divided and surrounded by the US army. ”

Ito Yanzaburo stared at Lieutenant General Yoshihiko Haruta with cold eyes, the anger contained in it, the staff officers could feel it, and the atmosphere in the command headquarters suddenly became a little nervous, and after a while, Ito burst out.

He shouted, "Idiot! I, the Imperial Japanese Army, launched a surprise attack, and the Americans are already in disarray, and they still have the energy to play such a small conspiracy? What is the momentum of thunder, that is, the reason why there was no large-scale battle was because the US army was losing and retreating in the face of the fierce attack of the imperial army, and it was no longer able to organize an effective defense! ”

"What the Imperial Army needs to do is to storm it in one go, so that the Americans can breathe, as the supreme commander, so timid and afraid, if you follow your style of play, it will give the Americans a chance to breathe, increase the difficulty of the follow-up operation, if you still don't understand what I mean, go to the staff to look at the latest battle reports sent by other attacking forces!"

Yoshihiko Haruta is also a lieutenant general, ranking among the ranks of senior generals of the Japanese Army, the supreme commander of an army of more than 100,000 people, in front of so many subordinates, if he was beaten by Ito with a gun and a stick, he was trained like a third grandson, where did he put his face? How can you stand up in front of your subordinates in the future?

The clay man also has three points of anger, not to mention, he just proposed to build yì, you Ito didn't listen to it, why bother to reprimand people like this? Besides, I don't have a backstage in the base camp, and on the premise of taking advantage of reason, I can help you to sweep your face? was deprived of the right to command, and he was already angry, but this is good, and Ito's words ignited the fuse, and the fire in his heart burned "suddenly"!

Lieutenant General Yoshihiko Haruta, the general's hat slammed on the table, his face was pale, he pulled out a cockfighting posture, and was about to go out to fight with Ito, Lieutenant General Kawashima, the chief of the General Staff on the side, saw that things were not good, he was the old partner of Commander-in-Chief Ito, and they had spent more than a year in Singapore together, and they knew each other very well.

Knowing that General Ito is no longer the gentle and elegant general he was at the beginning, the perverted appearance is becoming more and more obvious, if Yoshihiko Haruta does it, the commander-in-chief will be angry and severely punish him, and the trouble will not end there, neither of the two can pick up the bargain, and even take himself with him, this peacemaker, can't be inappropriate! Besides, General Ito's style of play is terrifying when he looks at it.

So, Kawashima took a step forward, blocked Haruta Yoshihiko behind him, turned one hand behind his back, gestured violently, and said in his mouth: "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief is angry, General Haruta's construction is not unreasonable!" ”

When Ito heard this, he became even more angry, what's the matter? You're all competing with me, aren't they? Even his henchman Kawashima helped Haruta to speak, so much so that he seemed to be imperious and impertinent! The eyes that can kill people are staring at Kawashima deadly.

Kawashima has followed Ito for many years, and he knows his temper too well, and when he saw that he succeeded in directing the anger of His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief to himself, he was greatly relieved in his heart, and he had countless ways to deal with General Ito in a state of rage!

Kawashima said with a smile on his face: "The tactics adopted by the commander-in-chief are the best way to quickly defeat the US army, the strategic depth of Luzon Island and the space for maneuver on the battlefield are not large, our imperial army troops, in one go, storm, I believe, within three days, Manila is at your fingertips, but, commander-in-chief, you should also take into account that Luzon Island is the location of the US military headquarters, and it will inevitably be heavily defended, which is the biggest difference from several other attack directions!" ”

"If General Haruta is unfortunately said that the Americans do have a conspiracy, and our Imperial Army troops are frustrated, it will inevitably affect the smooth progress of future battles, and I ask you, Commander-in-Chief, to seriously consider General Haruta's construction!"

Other people's words, Ito can ignore them, but Kawashima's words, he can't ignore them, he has followed himself for many years, this loyal old subordinate, before and after the saddle, gives advice, and has not disappointed himself, and Ito himself also feels that his temper is a little bigger, how to say, Haruta is also a senior general, and the necessary face still has to be given!

However, Ito did not have the habit of apologizing to his subordinates, he looked at Yoshihiko Haruta who was panting like a bellows, and said coldly: "General Haruta, your construction, I will consider it, in order to unify the command of the front-line attack troops, you go to the front line, command the 103rd and 104th Divisions, and encircle Manila as quickly as possible!" ”

Yoshihiko Haruta didn't vent the anger in his stomach, his chest was stuffy, and when he heard Ito's almost dispatching order, he saluted with a blank face, didn't say a word, turned around and left angrily.

Yoshihiko Haruta also thought about it, and Ito, the old guy, had a hard top, and he didn't take advantage of it, just right, he had the opportunity to go to the front line, stay away from this hysterical commander-in-chief, out of sight and out of mind, and still be able to seize the command of the two divisions, how to fight when the time comes, but you Ito can't point fingers!
