"What, the heavy artillery brigade was bombed by the Chinese? This... how is this possible!"
In the office, Okamura Neji's face turned very livid, and then he sat on the chair in the office in astonishment, looking at the telegram that had just been sent in his hand with blank eyes, while Lieutenant Colonel Ichiro Miyamoto, the operational staff officer, respectfully
Standing in front of him, he bowed his head and said nothing.
The heavy artillery brigade was gone. This was something he had never imagined in advance. In his opinion, the heavy artillery brigade had the defense strength of nearly two regiments, plus so many artillery, even if the Chinese came to a division of troops.
They can also take it in their stride.
But these Chinese people did not follow the routine. They actually dispatched a large amount of air force and launched an attack from the sky. Yes, it was a large amount of air force. According to the surviving soldiers of the Fifth Heavy Artillery Brigade, the incoming Chinese air force
No less than 90 to 100 aircraft. This is strange. Hasn't large-scale bombing of ground troops always been the right of the Japanese Empire? When did the extremely poor Chinese people have such a big deal?
Okamura sat on the chair and felt dizzy. The heavy artillery brigade was gone, and things were serious this time.
"Dingle bell bell bell..."
There was a rapid ringing of the phone, and Okamura picked up the phone and said, "Moxi Moxi, you are...Hai...Hello, Commander!"
Soon, Yan Junliu's angry voice came from the phone: "Okamura, you owe me an explanation, what is going on with the heavy artillery brigade? Do you know the consequences of this matter?"
Yan Shunroku's voice was so loud that even from such a long distance, Okamura Neji could smell the fishy smell of saliva emanating from the other side.
"Your Majesty Commander, of course I know."
At this point, Okamura Neji had nothing to say. He shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the matter has happened, and I have nothing to say. I will never refuse the responsibilities I bear, and I think we are arguing now.
This has no effect, what we need to do now is how to capture Songshan Pass as soon as possible, instead of calling out injustice for those imperial warriors who died in the battle."
"Baga Yalu, you damn guy, you actually said such a thing!" Yan Junliu on the other end of the phone got angry and cursed loudly.
"But what I said is the truth!" Okamura Neiji emphasized this point again. At this moment, he had calmed down.
"You damn guy!" Yan Junliu's teeth chattered.
Although Yan Shunroku was so angry at the moment that he wanted to fuck Neji Okamura right away, he could only think about it. This was impossible. In Japan, as long as an officer reaches the position of division commander, his choice of whether to stay or not is no longer his.
A front army commander can decide, but only the base camp has the right to make appointments and dismissals, let alone the commander Okamura Neiji.
"Okay, I'll bear it!" Yan Junliu suppressed the anger in his heart, "Then what method do you have to quickly capture the fortress of Tianjia Town?"
To be honest, Okamura Neji's impression of Enjun Shunroku is not bad, but disgust or even hatred. There is no other reason. Because Okamura Neji was promoted from division commander to commander of the 11th Army in the front-end period.
Voted no on the issue.
There is an old Chinese saying that cutting off a person's financial path is like killing his parents, let alone cutting off a person's official career?
However, Okamura Neji did not dare to play too hard on this issue, "Now we can only place our hopes on the navy. Although the early arrival of the Yangtze River dry season has disrupted our plans, we still have three ships and two ships."
As long as the navy can exert its strength with more than a thousand-ton light cruisers, five gunboats and dozens of patrol boats, I believe we can still take Tianjia Town with their powerful artillery support.
But..." At this point, Gangcun suddenly stopped.
"But what? Just tell me!"
Yan Junliu on the other end of the phone was a little angry, how long have you been and you still keep it secret.
"However, I hope you can communicate with the Navy in time, otherwise if they... then it will be difficult to say."
"Damn, I knew this guy would do this!"
Yan Junroku cursed secretly in his heart. The whole world knew that Japan's army and navy were at odds with each other. It was normal for Okamura Neji to worry that the navy would not be able to contribute to this battle. After all, the navy and army had a history.
Criminal record.
For example, when Qingdao was captured last time, the navy and army attacked together. At that time, it was agreed that Qingdao would be divided equally between the two families, but the navy relied on its own speed to occupy most of the territory. Later, the army became annoyed when they landed on Qingdao.
After that, he immediately put his own seals on many important places and took pictures to guard them.
The navy was also annoyed and wanted to argue with the army, but the army had so many people that it beat several naval officers who came to argue into pig heads. Later, it almost turned into a fight between the two armies. In the end, the lawsuit reached the base camp.
The higher-ups are just messing around.
Although this matter has been suppressed, no one is sure that the navy will hold a grudge. If the navy's ships suddenly go on strike when the fight is fierce, the joke will be big.
But what makes Yan Junliu unhappy is why I am the one asking for help while you sit back and enjoy the results. Are you, the commander of the army, just a decoration?
"Your Excellency, Commander, it's not that I don't want to explain to the navy, but because the war in Wuhan during this period has left me with no energy to deal with these things, so... I can only ask you!"
"Okay." After a while, Yan Junliu's unwilling voice came from the microphone, "But I hope Mr. Gangcun can give me a timetable for conquering Wuhan, so that I can explain it to the base camp.
"
"Two months, give me another two months, and I can take down Wuhan."
"No, one month, I can only give you one month, you must take down Wuhan!"
"Fifty days, if it's shorter, I won't be sure."
The two of them bargained for a while like vegetable sellers in a vegetable market before settling on the time, and finally set the deadline to capture Wuhan before November 10th.
After putting down the phone, Okamura Neji let out a long breath and leaned on the wicker chair behind him. He felt a wave of exhaustion rushing into his body. After all, he hadn't had a good night's sleep in almost half a month.
Neiji Murura was in good health, but he was a little unable to hold on.
But as soon as he opened his eyes, he found a figure still standing in front of him, and couldn't help asking: "Miyamoto-kun, why haven't you gone down yet?"
"I think you seem to have something else to do, so I don't dare to go down without permission." Miyamoto Ichiro asked with concern: "Commander, you are too tired, do you want to take a rest first?"
"No, I can still hold on." Neji Okamura sat up straight, braced himself and smiled at Miyamoto: "Miyamoto-kun, I heard that you are also a master of chess. Let's talk about a game today.
Bar?"
"This..." Ichiro Miyamoto hesitated and then agreed, and the two started playing chess in Neji Okamura's office.
Halfway through the chess game, Miyamoto couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is something I don't understand. Can you please enlighten me?"
Gangcun closed his eyes slightly, nodded and said, "Say!"
"That's it." Miyamoto Ichiro swallowed before asking: "When I received the news that the Fifth Heavy Artillery Brigade was wiped out, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. Why did you just receive this news?
I was surprised for a while, but then I didn't show too much surprise? Is my self-cultivation really so different from yours?"
Okamura Neji was silent for a while, and the hand that was about to reach into the chess basket froze. He slowly raised his head and looked at Miyamoto Ichiro. At this time, a ray of light seemed to shoot out of his eyes.
, Miyamoto Ichiro was frightened when he saw it.
Miyamoto quickly stood up and lowered his hands in fear and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, did my words offend you? If so, I apologize to you!"
Okamura Ningji sighed, slowly put his hand into the chess basket, took out two white stones and said: "Miyamoto-kun, let me ask you, what kind of behavior should I have to behave normally?
"
"This..." Miyamoto was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
"snort!"
Okamura snorted coldly before saying: "Since we put on this military uniform, it is destined that our lives no longer belong to ourselves. We are destined to fight for His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan, even if we sacrifice our own lives.
Life. So what if the entire fifth brigade was wiped out? Isn’t there still a small number of troops wiped out?
Since the China Incident, nearly 200,000 of our loyal and brave imperial warriors have sacrificed their lives for His Majesty the Emperor. Even if the fifth brigade is gone, it will only add a few more rows of memorial tablets in the Yasukuni Shrine. As long as it is beneficial to Great Japan
It will help the great cause of the empire. Let alone a fifth heavy artillery brigade, I will not feel bad even if a few more are added. Now let me test you, Miyamoto-kun, what did you see from this matter?
?"
Miyamoto thought for a while and then said: "Your Excellency, Commander, please forgive me, I discovered one thing from this incident. That is that China's 300 Division probably still has its own aviation force, otherwise they would not be so clever.
They also bombed our fifth heavy artillery brigade so desperately. Based on my understanding of the Chinese army, the aviation force can be used so skillfully. Unless it is possible that Suri is Chiang's illegitimate son, otherwise China's embarrassing air force is
It is impossible to mobilize such a large scale for a division-level force."
"Yoshi!"
Okamura nodded approvingly, "Miyamoto-kun, your chess style is thorough and ruthless. This is a prerequisite for becoming a general. If you work hard for a few more years, you may not be able to become a famous general, but the premise is that you can't
Become a woman for some things."
Ichiro Miyamoto stood up, bowed and said loudly: "Hai... thank you for your teaching!"
"Um!"
Okamura nodded and then said: "Yoshi, I plan to send you to the cruiser Isuzu in a few days to serve as the liaison officer for this battle. Do you have confidence?"
"Hai!" Miyamoto bowed again: "Commander, please rest assured, I will do my best and live up to your expectations!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
