Chapter 790: The Water of Good Fortune
Masanobu Tsuji, a well-known or notorious Japanese army staff officer, is also known as one of the three major staff officers of the Showa period, the chief graduate of the RB Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and the forty-third class of the RB Army University, graduating with the third place and becoming a member of the saber group.
The top six graduates of each class of RB Army University receive sabers from the emperor's awards, so they are called saber groups, and they are also the most promising army general reserves. As long as there are no major accidents, the iron will definitely climb to the sequence of generals step by step, even if there are no achievements, stay up for time to achieve this goal.
After Masanobu Tsuji went to the grassroots level, he first went to the first section of the General Affairs Department of the RB Army Staff Headquarters, that is, the mobilization and establishment section as a staff officer, and the section chief happened to be Hideki Tojo.
In April of the 25th year of the Republic of China, Masanobu Tsuji was transferred to the third section of the Kwantung Army, that is, the military station section to work, and after the 77 Incident, he was transferred to the North China Front.
Section Chief Hattori Takushiro Nakasa, two terms higher than Masanobu Tsuji, has a very harmonious relationship, and this thing is also a fanatical warlike with him.
The Battle of Normenhan was written by Takushiro Hattori and Masanobu Tsuji.
At the beginning of the first phase of the offensive, launched by the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army, it was just a garrison division, and it did not have much combat effectiveness at all, and the result was naturally miserable.
The reason why a division dared to provoke a war was that in addition to the arrogance and arrogance of the Japanese army, the root cause was that Masanobu Tsuji gave the border troops permission to fight in the name of Kenkichi Ueda, the commander of the Kwantung Army.
Although the battle was lost, Hattori Takushiro, the head of the combat section, and Masanobu Tsuji, the combat staff officer, fabricated the results of the battle and reported to the staff headquarters that the battle had been won, and the Soviet army suffered heavy casualties this time, which was also a common lying behavior of the Japanese army, and according to the requirements of the Japanese army, the battle report could not shake the morale of the army and damage the reputation of the empire.
The matter did not end here, Masanobu Tsuji tore up the telegram of Lieutenant General Nakajima Tetsuzo, deputy chief of the General of Staff Headquarters, ordering that no air strikes on the Soviet troops should be carried out, and he himself issued an order to attack the Soviet troops.
The Kwantung Army suffered a great defeat in the Battle of Nomenhan, losing tens of thousands of people, which led to the transfer of the deputy chief of staff and chief of operations of the army headquarters, the commander of the Kwantung Army, the chief of staff, the commander of the Sixth Army and the division commander of the 23rd Division to the reserve!
But Masanobu Tsuji and Takushiro Hattori, who started the war, including Masasumi Inada, the chief of the operations section of the General Staff Headquarters, and Masao Terada, a senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army, were just transferred to another place and had no at all.
Masanobu Tsuji made the headquarters of the 11th Army in Hankou this time, of course, not for any anti-corruption, but a kind of revenge, and the top student of the dignified saber group was actually assigned to be in charge of the military police, and he thought that this was a kind of humiliation to him!
The Ninth Theater Command is stationed.
Han Lin looked at the telegram from Chief of Staff Wu Fusheng to the Military Commission, and almost couldn't hold back, he really dared to blow it!
Receiving accurate information from the police department of the Central Military Police Command, the Ninth Theater Command resolutely set up an ambush at the landing site of the Shangcun detachment and mobilized the 70th and 73rd armies to encircle and annihilate it.
After more than four hours of fierce fighting, the front-line officers and men fought bloodily, and most of the Uemura detachment, which was caught off guard during the landing, was annihilated and fled in disarray with the support of the RB naval vessels, killing and wounding more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers in this battle, and capturing a batch of weapons, ammunition and horses.
"Brother, I hope you can understand, although the number of enemies destroyed in the first battle of Yingtian was exaggerated, but this victory was not faked, the reason why I reported it like this is also to give more compensation to the brothers who died in battle, and the soldiers who fought bloodily can also get the credit they deserve, and at the same time, it also encourages the morale of the anti-enemy forces across the country and establishes a good image for the Shancheng government." Wu Fusheng was not embarrassed at all.
False reporting of war exploits is the rule of the game in the army of the Shancheng government, everyone reports it like this, and the Ninth War Zone is no exception. If you don't exaggerate your military exploits, you are a pure fool, after all, if you do this, you will definitely be rewarded by the Military Commission, and it will also give an explanation to the brothers.
killed more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, he only doubled, this is already very conscientious, if it weren't for Han Lin's presence, the second place in the attendant's room was the staff agency of the commission, he dared to triple.
"Understand, understand, the chief of staff is far-sighted and very thoughtful, and the lowly post has no objection to such an approach. I'm now the chief of intelligence at the Theater Command, and we have the same interests, and at the Theater Command, we have to support the commander's decision, and that's a matter of principle. Han Lin hurriedly said.
The Ninth Theater is the first theater in which the Secret Service expands its power, and if he can't get along with the Command, he won't be able to take control of the intelligence department.
The general environment is like this, Han Lin can't be maverick, such a thing can't be managed, and it can't be his turn to take care of it, as long as the theater command doesn't erase his achievements, it's better to acquiesce, and learning to compromise is also a mature approach!
Therefore, knowing that the results reported to the Military Commission were exaggerated, Han Lin also had to pinch his nose and admit that he was against the vital interests of the entire Ninth War Zone, unless he was crazy!
Moreover, the military and political officials of the Military Council are all scheming and powerful people, can they not know that there is serious moisture in this war report?
The key is that this battle was indeed won, and with this result as a basis, the rest of the things are easy to say, and the Shancheng government really needs such a good news, this is a situation where you are good, I am good, everyone is good.
"Very good, I know that my brother is reasonable and will agree to do this, you haven't sent a telegram to the attendant's room yet, have you?" Wu Fusheng asked.
"No, the theater command hasn't sent it yet, how can I send it alone, the two sides must have a unified voice." Han Lin shook his head and said.
"That's good, let's report according to this number! Speaking of this great victory in the camp field, as well as the operational deployment of the entire large-scale campaign, all rely on your intelligence to support and deal with it, intelligence is the first element of victory on the battlefield, and the relationship is particularly important, and it can be seen from the facts that the intelligence work of the field troops and the intelligence section of the police department are far behind. ”
"Chief Xue also mentioned to me that the intelligence personnel of the intelligence departments of the armed forces at all levels not only do not have professional knowledge, but also are good and bad, and they must gradually become professional and professional, and you will concurrently serve as the director of the intelligence department this time, responsible for the intelligence work of the entire theater, and when this battle is over, you must catch this work as soon as possible, and Chief Xue and I will definitely spare no effort to support you." Wu Fusheng said.
Since Han Lin was so upright, he was also relieved in his heart, but Xue Boling asked him to do a good job in Han Lin's ideological work before sending the report. It is true that Han Lin is a smart person, but he is in control of the military law and military discipline of the Shancheng government, and he is still a senior staff officer of the commission, so he will definitely send a battle report to the attendant room, so as not to make jokes when the content is inconsistent.
"Chief of Staff, I want a batch of captured Japanese weapons for the police department's guerrillas in the Qimen area, and I hope you can approve this request." Han Lin said.
