Chapter 215: The Little Devil's Reaction
Liaoyuan Province, Jinzhou City, General Headquarters of the Front of the RI Army.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't say much about the scene, now that the Rehe operation has been going on for eight days, there is a huge gap between it and the rehearsal before the war, especially on the front line of Tongliao, there was actually a thing where a brigade was completely annihilated, such a shameful thing happened, Sakamoto-kun, do you want to take the lead in doing a review?"
General Muto Nobuyoshi, commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, deliberately lowered his voice and said word by word, those who are familiar with Muto Nobuyoshi know that this puppet Emperor of Manchukuo is already on the verge of breaking out, and the entire venue is silent, even the chief of staff Koiso Kuni Showa and the deputy chief of staff Okamura Ninji are silent.
However, anyone can choose to be silent, but the commander of the 6th Division, Lieutenant General Sakamoto Masaemon, had to speak, although the 4th Cavalry Brigade was only temporarily assigned to his command for the needs of the war, but now the 4th Cavalry Brigade has been wiped out, and even the brigade commander has been killed, and his direct superior leader must be responsible. It really made Sakamoto Masaemon feel a little chill down his spine.
"Hey! Sakamoto's command of the battle was unfavorable, and he also asked His Excellency the Commander to criticize and punish him. Sakamoto Masaemon stood up directly, bowed his head, and said.
No matter when, no matter whether you are wrong or not, once the leader criticizes you, the first thing you need to do is to accept the criticism with an open mind and dare to take mistakes and responsibilities, even if you are really right. You have to make this gesture as well, and that's the philosophy of life, which applies anytime and anywhere.
"Hmph."
Muto Nobuyoshi snorted and said no more, but the anger on his face had obviously subsided a lot.
"Your Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, and the generals, Sakamoto bears unshirkable responsibility for the affairs of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, and Sakamoto is willing to accept any punishment. Now I will talk about the situation of the 4th Cavalry Brigade. To make a brief statement, the 4th Cavalry Brigade was responsible for the offensive on the northern front of Tongliao ,......, was bombed from the Tongliao airfield. Then the 25th Cavalry Brigade was annihilated. ……。 Until three hours ago today, the last 500 soldiers left behind in Xinghui Town were completely annihilated, and the entire enemy 4 cavalry brigade. All the jade was broken, and no one was spared. ”
"This is a disgrace to the Imperial Japanese Army!"
"Yaga!"
"Cunning Shina man!"
As soon as Masaemon Sakamoto finished speaking, there was an outbreak in the venue, especially Lieutenant General Nishiyoshiichi, commander of the 8th Division, and Major General Hattori Hyojiro, the commander of the 14th Brigade.
Syllable!
Seeing that the venue had become a vegetable market, Muto Nobuyoshi was angry again, and directly slapped his big hand, and in an instant the whole venue could be heard, and then he said coldly: "What is the noise, I summoned you from all over the country to solve the problem, not to sell vegetables, hum, Sakamoto-kun, you go on." ”
"Hey!" Sakamoto Masaemon continued: "According to the telegram from the commander of the cavalry artillery wing of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, Asako Anzai, before his death, the continuous attacks of the 4th Cavalry Brigade seem to come from the same mysterious unit, and we know very little about this mysterious unit, and the information provided by the intelligence department is almost zero, and it is impossible to make valuable judgments. ”
"Therefore, I hope that the special high school and the intelligence department can give us more help."
"Yo Xi, what Sakamoto-kun said makes sense."
"Intelligence and conspiracy are indeed not what our field troops are good at."
Sakamoto Masaemon's remarks immediately attracted the response of several other division commanders and brigade commanders, and in this way, it was also able to divert the pressure of several field unit commanders.
"Okay, I have already explained this matter to the Special High Division and the Intelligence Department, these two departments have already sent capable men into the Ao Han Banner, and they will also focus on searching for information about this branch of the army on the Rehe battlefield." Muto Nobuyoshi frowned, and continued: "Now let's discuss the progress of the war in Rehe, Gangmura-kun, you can come." ”
"Hey, this operation was advanced by a day because of the bombing of Tongliao Airport, we are not well prepared in some aspects, on the other hand, the military of China seems to be more fully prepared than us, even before the war we have contacted many of the troops of China to fight against the water, most of them have problems, some have been arrested by the top level of China, and some have given up cooperation with us,......
"In a word, if we want to break this deadlock quickly, we must increase our troops in Rehe, and completely crush the determination, confidence, and hope of the people of China to resist the war."
"Yo-shey, I agree."
"Seconded."
……
On the side of the former enemy headquarters in Jinzhou, when the high-level leaders of the Kwantung Army were discussing in full swing, the high-level leaders of the Bantian Wing, which was stationed in the area of Hongmen Temple in the Ao Han Banner, were also holding a meeting, and the theme of the meeting was to discuss whether it was necessary to attack Daheisheng.
"......, the situation of the 4th Cavalry Brigade is probably like this." Wing Commander Sakata Daisa first introduced the situation of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, and then continued: "Judging from the comprehensive intelligence from various aspects, the mysterious army of China should be in the Great Black Mountain, and the Imperial Cooperative Army, which originally belonged to the 4th Cavalry Brigade, probably has about 2,000 people, and has taken refuge in this unit. ”
"For the glory of the Imperial Army, this battle must also be fought, and the Great Black Mountain must be bloodied."
"Yo Xi, we must let these people know that our Imperial Japanese Army is powerful, and they are all dead."
"Kill the people of Hiroshina,......
Several captains of the Sakata Wing clamored very loudly, but the deputy captain Miyamoto and several senior staff officers were frowning one by one, and did not clamore for an attack, in fact, even Sakata himself had a lot of concerns about attacking the Great Black Mountain.
One is that the big black mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, this has been confirmed by Fujita Shinichi, although it is said that most of Fujita Shinichi's subordinates are cavalry who are not good at attacking mountains, but how to say that last night also dispatched a thousand imperial troops plus a thousand puppet troops, just like that, it was still in vain, and in the end even he even got in.
Second, this big black mountain is dead, but people are alive, not to mention that the big black mountain is so big, hiding thousands of people as if they were playing, if the other party wants to leave, the Bantian team can't stop it, you must know that the 4th Cavalry Wing alone, there are more than 2,000 war horses that have become the opponent's trophies, and the big black mountain is only a few dozen kilometers away from the Chifeng National Control Area.
Three, it's selfish, the big black mountain must be a hard bone, even if it is gnawed down, it is certain that a few teeth will be broken, of course, if the mysterious branch of the army is taken by Shun Lì, then naturally everyone will be happy, but if it costs a heavy price, and in the end it is found that there are just some bandits and puppet troops above, then the captain of the Bantian joint will have to carry the black pot.
Of course, there is another reason, it is possible that Sakata himself has not realized it, or he is unwilling to admit it, that is, he is already a little scared in his heart, afraid of being targeted by that mysterious team, this 4th Cavalry Brigade is a lesson from the past, for such a mysterious and powerful opponent, as an enemy, can you not be empty-minded? It's not bad if others don't come to provoke themselves, but if you want to provoke this evil god, isn't that looking for death?
"Quietly, Miyamoto-kun, tell me what you think?" Sakata asked after patting the table.
"Your Excellency Wing Commander, we are not a permanent wing of the division, we were only temporarily formed because the war was not going well, especially since we have just entered Rehe now, and we have not really participated in the war, and we don't know much about the shape of the battlefield, so my advice is whether we should ask His Excellency the division commander more." Deputy Wing Captain Miyamoto said that this is definitely not a prevarication, but a truth.
"No, Miyamoto-kun, although we are not a permanent wing, we are all veterans of the battlefield, we are all heroic Imperial Army of the Great Rihon, we are no worse than the other wings of the division, we should show the courage of a soldier and strip the veil of the mysterious unit."
"Yo Xi, I support Sang Mujun, we must fight, we are not cowards of China, we must fight."
Several captains competed with Miyamoto again, which made the scene that finally calmed down lively again, Sakata was big for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he directly clapped the board and said: "Don't fight, I will ask His Excellency the division commander to decide on this matter." ”
……
Great Montenegro.
Wang Yue led Zheng Dan's department to make a detour of more than 20 kilometers, which took more than two hours, and finally returned safely to Daheishan at 11 o'clock in the morning.
Wang Yue went out with less than 100 people, and returned with a team of 1,000 people after a long time, which undoubtedly made the Great Black Mountain make a fuss for a while, especially the people on Shi Yungao and Li Zinan's side, who were both envious and jealous, but they seemed helpless.
"Party representatives, division captains, let's just look at them like this, keep leading people here, we are the masters." Luo Hai said angrily.
"Then what do you say, don't say it, you can't beat others, just rely on the hundreds of sets of coats and quilts that were sent to us yesterday, more than ten tons of rice and flour grain, and the 38 big covers promised by General Wang, what do you want?" Shi Yungao said helplessly.
"Yes, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are soft." Li Zinan sighed and said.
"Actually, I don't think they'll be here permanently, as long as their wounded recover, they should go back." Fang Jiayan said.
"Deputy Captain Fang, you must be wrong about this, I went to them today to take a look, and found that they have organized a lot of manpower and material resources, and are planning and renovating the caves, such as the headquarters, military camps, temporary hospitals, warehouses, kitchens, etc., and they have also written reminder signs in many eye-catching places." Luo Hai affirmed.
"Really?"
"It's true, I don't believe you can go over and take a look, and I can still break it?"
