Xu Rui couldn't be happy after winning the battle, and Kawaguchi Heiji suffered a defeat, which made his life even more miserable.
At this moment, Kawaguchi Heiji was standing in the backyard of the Mei family ancestral hall, frowning as he looked at the two datura trees in full bloom. What made Kawaguchi Heiji feel embarrassed was how to explain to the commander of the Central China Front, Sugimoto Yuan.
all of these?
Including Captain Muto Akira, there are more than 1,200 people in the Muto Brigade, more than 700 of them were broken into pieces, and most of the remaining 500 people were seriously injured. Even after recovering from their injuries, I am afraid it will be difficult to return to the battlefield.
, such battle losses can almost be said to have caught up with the previous Hamura detachment.
Speaking of which, Akira Muto died unjustly. Before the war started, Akira Muto actually questioned Kawaguchi Heiji, believing that Xu Rui's independent regiment was clearly fishing, so the Kawaguchi detachment did not need to pay attention to it and just continued according to the original strategy.
If we go down, we will definitely push the Dameishan Independent Group to a dead end.
Although the underground tactic of using excavation and destruction to deal with the Dameishan Independent Regiment is a bit stupid, it is better than safety, because according to this tactic, the Japanese army will be more tired and miserable, and at worst they will become marmots.
After all, you don't have to pay a big price, but you will definitely be able to push the Dameishan Independent Regiment into a desperate situation in the end.
Muto Akira shared Muto Akira's thoughts, and Kawaguchi Heiji also shared Kawaguchi Heiji's concerns.
Kawaguchi Heiji was worried about the safety of the logistics supply line, and he believed that the so-called tactic of removing wages from the bottom of the cauldron had worked, so he was eager to fight against the Daimeishan Independent Regiment. However, he did not expect that he would get such a result. If he must be held accountable
, as the commander, Kawaguchi Heiji will undoubtedly bear the main responsibility.
However, Kawaguchi Heiji also knows very well that if this responsibility is placed on his head, it means that he will no longer expect to be promoted in the future. The commander of the major general brigade may be his end. In this life, he will be
Don't think about being promoted to lieutenant general, and don't ever think about being the division commander of a first-class division.
How could Heiji Kawaguchi be willing to accept such a result?
A burst of light footsteps suddenly came from behind. Without turning around, Kawaguchi Heiji knew it was Nagashin Tatsuya.
Sure enough, Nagajin Tatsuya's figure soon appeared next to Kawaguchi: "Your Excellency, Commander, just now another telegram came from the commander of the front army, asking about the latest progress of the Dameishan mopping up operation."
Kawaguchi Heiji frowned deeply, not knowing what to say to Nagashin Tatsuya.
Tatsu Eijin was also a good person, and he could guess Kawaguchi Heiji's thoughts just by looking at his expression, and immediately said: "Your Excellency, Commander, otherwise, we should truthfully report the battle situation at Xiaolizhuang? Because Muto Akira was lucky and underestimated the enemy.
, and was even surrounded by the superior force of the China Army. Although the main force of the detachment tried its best to rescue, they were stubbornly blocked by the China Army on the way. Although more than 500 people of the China Army were killed and injured, they were unable to rescue the Muto Brigade in the end. The Muto Brigade was arrogant.
There are more than 1,200 people under Captain Muto Sho and below, and more than 700 people are broken into pieces! The rest are all seriously injured!"
"Nani?" Kawaguchi Heiji suddenly turned around and looked at Nagajin Tatsuya with strange eyes.
At this moment, Nagashin Tatsuya indeed made Kawaguchi Heiji feel extremely strange. Is this still the honest, upright and diligent chief of staff he knew? This is simply calling a deer a horse and confusing right and wrong! However, Kawaguchi Heiji must admit that,
What Yongjin Tatsuya said really tempted him a lot.
However, Kawaguchi Heiji also struggled a bit in his heart, because doing so was contrary to his usual principles.
From Kawaguchi Heiji's expression, Nagashin Tatsuya saw his inner struggle, and then added: "Your Excellency, Commander, isn't what he said about his humble position true?"
After hearing these words from Nagashin Tatsuya, Kawaguchi Heiji's inner balance finally tilted. The so-called principles of life finally succumbed to the pressure of reality and future.
"Hai, this is the truth." Kawaguchi Heiji waved his hand and said feebly, "Then please trouble Yong Jin-san and truthfully report the situation of the battle at Xiaoli Village to the commander of the front army. By the way, there is also Okahara-san,
Invite him to come to the backyard, I want to consult him on some important matters."
Asking Oluhara Junsi to come over and make a confession is also the proper meaning of the title.
After all, Ogahara Junsi is also a colonel and a senior officer, so he knows the entire plan. If this matter cannot be recognized and cooperated by Ogahara Junsi, there is no way it can be hidden from the front army headquarters.
However, Kawaguchi Heiji was not worried about Ogawara Toshimi not cooperating.
Because, Okahara Junsi himself is also a piece of shit.
The trick of smearing blood on one's face and pretending to be dead can fool others, but it cannot fool veterans like Kawaguchi.
"Hai, please report this to the front army headquarters." Yongjin Tatsuya paused slightly, turned around and left.
A moment later, Ogawara Junsi, who had already changed into the regular uniform of the Osaka Army, came to the backyard and stood next to Kawaguchi Heiji: "Your Excellency, Commander, I heard that you are looking for me?"
Kawaguchi Heiji waved his hand and said: "Did Yongjin-san tell you about the reason why the Muto brigade suffered heavy losses?"
"I only gave some general information, but please forgive me for being humble and stupid, but I didn't quite understand something." Okahara Junsi's brows frowned. In terms of personal relationship, Okahara Junsi and Muto Akira still have a very good relationship.
Yes, if it weren't for Muto Akira's strong recommendation, Ogawara Junsi would not have the opportunity to form his special forces.
However, this special forces unit has now become a thing of the past.
In the battle of Xiaolizhuang, although the Muto brigade suffered heavy losses, with less than 500 people surviving, and all of them were seriously injured, the special forces of Shunsi Okahara suffered even more heavy losses. In the end, the special forces of 26 people
Only three survived, Ogawara Shunsi himself, Yamayama Takeo, and Ito Tamanosuke who only had one breath left.
However, this battle also gave Junsi Oluhara a clear understanding of Xu Rui's special team.
Compared with the special forces trained by Junsi Oluhara, Xu Rui's special operations team is a special operations team in the true sense, whether it is the technical and tactical qualities of the players, the degree of specialization in various firearms, or the application of various special tactics
, the special teams trained by Xu Rui are far stronger than those of Junsi Oluhara.
In short, the gap between the two armies is all-round.
After calming down and thinking about it, Ogahara Junsi believed that there were many reasons for this result, but the main reason was that the scope of his selection of team members was limited and the training was too hasty. Many special forces must practice
Special operations training, his special operations team did not conduct systematic training.
If we can give him a large enough range of talent selection and give him enough training time, Oluhara Junsi is fully confident that he can train a special forces unit that will not lose to Xu's special forces.
Unfortunately, this may only be a dream.
Because Shan Shanyuan originally didn't value special operations, after suffering this setback, Shan Shanyuan is afraid that he will despise special operations even more. At least in the Central China Front, it will be difficult for him to stand up again.
Ogawara Junsi quickly retracted his thoughts, and said to Kawaguchi, "Your Excellency, Commander, please forgive my stupidity for not understanding what Yongjin-san means?"
Kawaguchi Heiji turned around and looked at Okahara with a faint look.
For a moment, Kawaguchi Heiji really wanted to yell in Ogawara Junsi's face: "Don't think that I don't know about the embarrassing things you did, you coward who is pretending to be dead!"
Pretending to be dead on the battlefield in order to save your life is contrary to the spirit of Bushido. If Kawaguchi Heiji really makes the behavior of Ogahara Shunsi public, Ogahara Shunsi will definitely be ruined, no matter how good his background is, no matter how young he is,
How close the Kahara family is to the Japanese royal family, Okahara Junsi can't even think about having a future.
But in the end, Kawaguchi Heiji still resisted the urge and said: "Okahara-san, don't tell secrets in front of Akito, just say it directly. What conditions do you want?"
This is what Oluhara Junsi was waiting for.
Although his friendship with Akira Muto is good, this friendship is nothing compared to his pursuit of special operations.
Immediately he said: "Since Your Excellency, Commander, has spoken about this, I will speak frankly about my humble position. I have only one condition."
Kawaguchi Heiji said: "You say."
Said: "I hope that your Excellency, Commander, can fully support me in rebuilding the special operations team. I can choose any team members from the Kawaguchi Detachment and the Feicheng Garrison Brigade. This force can be placed under the Kawaguchi Detachment. However, a training plan must be prepared by
I have personally formulated it, and your Excellency, Commander, shall not interfere for any reason or in any way."
"Okay." Kawaguchi Heiji said, "But this will have to wait until this mopping up operation is over. Also, you should pack your bags now and return to Feicheng first."
Kawaguchi Heiji doesn't want to see Ogawara Junsi anymore.
Because every time he sees Ogawara Junsi, Kawaguchi Heiji will inevitably think of this transaction. To be honest, Kawaguchi Heiji hates such secret transactions because it is obviously contrary to the military principles he has always adhered to.
"Hai." Oluhara Junsi actually doesn't want to stay in Dameishan anymore. At this moment, he just wants to escape from this sad place as soon as possible, and he doesn't want to come back here again before the new special forces team is formed.
, at that moment Xiaoluyuan Junsi paused slightly and said, "I will leave my humble position right now."
Okahara Junsi had just left, and Nagashin Tatsuya came in behind him.
Yongjin Tatsuya glanced at Oluhara's back and asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, has Oluhara-san agreed?"
Kawaguchi Heiji did not answer, but asked Nagashin Tatsuya: "Nagashin-san, how did the general reply?"
Speaking of Shanshan Yuan's reply, Nagajin Tatsuya's expression immediately became solemn.
Sure enough, Yongjin Tatsuya said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, the General is very angry about the result of the battle at Xiao Lizhuang, and asked us to eliminate the threat of the Dameishan Independent Regiment as soon as possible."
