1938 was originally a prosperous year for the Japanese. During this year, the Japanese occupied most of the coastal areas of China, and then successively occupied Shanghai, Nanjing, most of Shandong, and Chahar.
For a while, the arrogance was extremely arrogant.
This is also the main reason why General Juichi Terauchi, commander of the North China Front, dared to capture Xuzhou with two divisions, the 5th and 10th divisions.
But Juichi Terauchi was quickly knocked unconscious by a blow to the head. The disastrous defeat of the Fifth and Tenth Divisions in Xuzhou soon shocked the entire Japanese military.
The 10th Division, in particular, set a record in which two regiments were completely wiped out and even the regiment flag was taken away.
As soon as Lieutenant General Isotani Rensuke, the commander of the 10th Division, returned to Linyi, he was escorted by cold-faced military police sent from the base camp onto a plane bound for Shanghai, where he would take a ship to return home. It is estimated that after returning to Tokyo, he would
Even if I die, I have to say goodbye to that military uniform.
The two poison gas attacks in Taierzhuang even chilled the Japanese army. Those Japanese bosses who used poison gas unscrupulously finally understood one thing. That is that chemical weapons are double-sided blades that can harm others at the same time.
He has also hurt himself deeply, and Taierzhuang is the best proof.
What a terrible thing it is for two entire brave and capable regiments to disappear from this world without a single shot being fired! The base camp naturally hates the instigator Suri, but for
Isotani Rensuke and the others were even more furious.
This person obviously didn't take the ban imposed by the base camp at the beginning of this year to heart. Isotani Rensuke put poison gas wherever he went, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know that he used poison gas. It's fine now. Something happened.
Since something went wrong, someone had to hold the vat, and the person who held the vat was ready-made, so Isotani Rensuke suffered a tragedy.
But the matter is not over yet, they still have to report to the emperor. At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Prince Kanin Gongzaihito who was the chief of staff. Who knows that this old guy is the uncle of the emperor? The emperor must have
You won’t blame him too much, right?
The seventy-year-old man had no choice but to drag his old body towards the palace.
After Prince Zaihi entered the palace, he asked to meet the emperor immediately. In a side courtyard of the palace, Emperor Hirohito was wearing a pair of frayed trousers that looked like pockets, a crooked tie, and dark glasses.
He sat in the yard and meditated with his head lowered and his waist bent.
Prince Zain reported the truth about the defeat of the 10th Division to the Emperor, and told the story that the 10th and 63rd regiments were completely wiped out by the Chinese army, and the regiment flag was also captured by the Chinese army.
Hirohito listened quietly and said slowly, "So, the military flags given to the 10th and 63rd Regiments by the late Emperor have been taken away by the Chinese army. From now on, the 10th and 63rd Regiments will
The team will also cease to exist?"
"Your Majesty... yes... yes!" Prince Zai Ren replied in a low voice.
"If I remember correctly, the division commander of the 10th Division is Isotani Rensuke. I still remember that you recommended Isotani Rensuke to be the division commander, right? I didn't expect that he hadn't been a division commander for a few years.
Commander, you caused heavy losses to the Empire’s 10th Division. Prince Zain, the person you recommended is not very good!”
Every time Hirohito said something, Zai Ren's face became paler.
Finally, Hirohito asked: "Your Majesty, in fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Rensuke Isotani. It is really the Shina people who are so despicable that they secretly released the poison gas, which made...the Tenth Division eat a lot."
Big loss."
"What are you going to do with Isoya Rensuke!" Hirohito ignored Prince Zaihito's plea and asked again.
Prince Zai Ren gritted his teeth and said: "We...our collective decision is to remove him from his post and let him go home for retirement. Now we are here to request an order from His Majesty..."
"No!" Hirohito changed his usual habit of using vague words and said very straightforwardly: "No matter what reason he has, losing the military flag given by the late emperor is disrespectful to the late emperor. I don't think so.
His behavior was detrimental to the essence of our country. Moreover, he did not listen to the advice of the military and continued to use special bombs, which angered the Chinese people, which led to the loss of two regiments. This is unforgivable."
After saying that, Hirohito looked up into the distance, a bright light shining behind his deep porthole eyes.
Prince Zai Ren became more and more panicked. By now, he had already felt the fate of Rensuke Isotani.
In Japan, the emperor is regarded as a god by Japanese subjects, and every Japanese received imperial education when they were still in the era. Japanese Taoism is the obligation to the emperor and parents. Without the emperor, there would be no motherland.
Without parents, there is no home.
For the Japanese, the emperor is a god, just like their parents are little gods. The Japanese people's feelings towards the emperor are not only awe, but also love and obedience to fulfill their obligations.
No matter how low the status of Japanese citizens, every subject feels that they have a family blood relationship with the emperor and considers the emperor to be the father of all Japanese people. This is because the Japanese confirm that the entire country of Japan was once a big family, a modernized clan.
A nation that evolved from clans thousands of years ago.
Japan is the country of God, the Emperor is God, and God's subjects warn their children that if they look directly into the Emperor's face, they will go blind. If a speaker mentions the word "Emperor" in his speech, the entire audience will
Immediately sit upright.
If a reporter rashly asks about the Emperor's private life, people will tell him coldly that such questions cannot be raised about God.
Because the emperor's power in Taoism is so great, the emperor cannot express his position easily. No matter in the imperial meeting or when reporting to him impromptu, people can only judge from his almost expressionless and vague words.
In the middle of the sentence, I guessed what the emperor meant.
Now that Prince Zai Ren unexpectedly received unexpected instructions from the emperor, he couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart.
Isotani Rensuke is the general that Prince Zaishi favors. Yes, Prince Zaishi admires Isotani Rensuke because he sees the shadow of his own youth in Isotani Rensuke.
Prince Zaihi admired Isotani Rensuke's ruthlessness and decisiveness in killing, but now this characteristic of Isotani Rensuke has caused him to run into trouble. Even Emperor Hirohito knew that his recklessness had led to the destruction of China.
Man's crazy revenge.
Seeing Prince Zaihi's fearful look in front of him, Hirohito softened in his heart, sighed and said: "Isotani Rensuke bears unshirkable responsibility in this incident, but as an Imperial Lieutenant General, the Empire still cannot
If the matter is settled, there will be no need to go to a military court. Let’s save his face and let him have a caesarean section, so that his family will not be harmed.”
"Hai, thank His Majesty the Emperor for your grace!"
Seeing Hirohito's attitude, Prince Zaihi knew that Rensuke Isotani's fate had been decided. He did not push too hard, but asked again: "Your Majesty, how can we prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future?"
To be honest, such a high casualty rate has frightened the internal affairs and the military headquarters. What does the battle damage rate of two regiments in one day mean? This means that if we continue to attack each other with chemical weapons like this, it will not take many
Within a few months, Japan's elite army would be completely wiped out.
By then, Japan will no longer think about conquering Asia. It will be good if it can protect itself. However, the cabinet and the military have different opinions. The cabinet suggested discussing with the Wuhan government that both sides should not use chemical weapons anymore, but the military disagreed. They believed that chemical weapons
Weapons are one of the simplest and most powerful weapons and must not be given up. The two sides argued and couldn't come up with a charter, so the ball was handed to Hirohito.
Hirohito sighed. He already knew the opinions of his inner circle and the military. Originally, he had no intention of getting involved in this matter, but now the Manned Prince has raised the issue, which forced him to make a decision.
Already.
"Okay, you don't need to say any more, I understand. You tell the people in the military department that temporary tolerance is for better progress in the future. Do you understand?"
"Hai, I understand!"
Prince Zai Ren quickly understood what Hirohito meant. Seeing that he understood, Hirohito waved his hand and signaled Prince Zai Ren to step back.
Soon, the Wuhan government received a notice from the Japanese government forwarded by the British government. The Japanese government claimed that in order to eliminate those inhumane behaviors, the Japanese government believed that the Wuhan government should order its troops to stop releasing poison gas.
In return, the Japanese government will also restrain its troops from launching poison gas bombs against China, and the two sides can only fight with conventional weapons. To be on the safe side, the Japanese government also proposed to invite ambassadors from Britain, France, Germany and other countries to comment on this statement.
Notarized.
The Wuhan government responded quickly. They strongly supported this resolution and signed the treaty with the Japanese government at lightning speed. After all, in the view of the Wuhan government, this treaty has almost no benefits for China.
It's harmful. Anyway, the Wuhan government doesn't have special ammunition, so this advantage will be in vain.
Soon, this statement was distributed to all theaters and units, especially the fifth theater. The Ministry of Military Affairs even sent the message directly to the 300 Brigade.
"Hmph... Little Japan is scared too!"
Looking at the photo in the newspaper of the commander of the Japanese North China Front Juichi Terauchi and the Minister of Military and Political Affairs He shaking hands, Su Rui snorted coldly and put the newspaper heavily on the table.
"Some people only care about beating and not eating. Look, after we use poison gas to smoke them for a while, the Japanese devils will be honest."
This is a very ordinary room. Su Rui is having dinner with Song Ziqing, Xu Yaoshan, Yang Peile, Xiaoyu and other four girls.
After seeing the newspaper on the table, I couldn't help but cursed a few times.
Song Ziqing on the side saw Su Rui's expression and couldn't help but advise: "Zhongxin, special bombs are too cruel after all. If we can't use them, don't use them."
"Well...I know."
After saying that, Su Rui silently picked up the bowl and started eating...
