Shan Shanyuan has not been in a good mood in the past few days. The reason is very simple. The 14th and 16th Divisions of the North China Front are making rapid progress. Yesterday they won the battle of Lanfeng. Their troops are directed towards Kaifeng and Zhengzhou. They are about to arrive.
Do you want to single-handedly capture Zhengzhou, a transportation hub, and cut off the retreat of hundreds of National Army main divisions on the Xuzhou battlefield??
?`
But all this has nothing to do with the 9th and 13th Divisions of the Central China Front.
This also means that in the contest with Juichi Terauchi, Shanshan Yuan has lost the first round.
This is hard for Sugimoto, who has always been proud and arrogant, to accept it, especially this time he lost to his old rival Juichi Terauchi.
Therefore, Shan Shanyuan has been rude to others these days, and coupled with the eyebrow on his right cheek caused by being injured in the Russo-Japanese War, he looks particularly gloomy and terrifying.
Early this morning, Shan Shanyuan once again appeared in the headquarters with a serious look on his face.
Seeing Shan Shan Yuan's expression, all the staff in the headquarters had their hearts in their throats, and they were always careful no matter what they did, lest they accidentally do something wrong and get Shan Shan Yuan's attention.
Outrageous rage.
When Tsukada came out of the communications office, he happened to see Sugisu Yuan slowly walking into the door with a gloomy face.
Shanshan Yuan turned around and saw Tsukada Gong, and then saw the telegram in Tsukada Gong's hand. At that time, he frowned and asked: "Tsukada-san, is this the telegram from the Kawaguchi detachment?"
"Hai." Tsukada paused and said, "This is the telegram just sent by the Kawaguchi detachment."
Shan Shanyuan walked to sit behind the executive desk, and then asked: "What does the telegram say? Is there any progress in the mopping up the Dameishan Independent Regiment?"
"This..." Tsukada Gong didn't know how to answer.
Is there any progress? More than just some progress, there is simply too much progress.
However, this is the progress of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, not the progress of the Kawaguchi Detachment.
Seeing that Tsukada-san was hesitant, Sugisu Yuan was a little unhappy. He frowned and asked: "Why, Tsukada-san is a little embarrassed to talk about it? Could it be that Kawaguchi Heiji whom you recommended suffered another defeat?"
?”
When Tsukada initially recommended Kawaguchi Heiji, Sugisumoto actually approved it. However, after the Kawaguchi detachment suffered its first defeat at Xiaoli Village, Sugisumoto began to feel dissatisfied with Kawaguchi Heiji, and also with the person who recommended Kawaguchi Heiji.
Tsukada Gong also lost his good looks, and would use this incident to ridicule Tsukada Gong from time to time.?．
Tsukada Gong could only endure Sugi Shan Yuan's cynicism.
"Hai." Tsukada paused for a moment, thinking that what was supposed to come would eventually come. He then said bravely, "I just received a telegram from the Kawaguchi detachment's left-behind headquarters. Kawaguchi-san misjudged the enemy's situation yesterday.
Before midnight, he led the main force of the detachment to launch a large-scale attack, but was attacked by fire at Yematan, resulting in..."
Having said this, Tsukada paused instinctively.
Collectively, these four words are not easy to say.
When Shan Shan Yuan heard this, his face drooped, but until this moment, Shan Shan Yuan thought that this defeat was similar to the defeat of Xiaoli Village, and at best it was the loss of an infantry brigade.
At that moment, Shan Shanyuan asked with a gloomy face: "Another brigade was lost?"
Tsukada gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is not a brigade, but two and a half infantry regiments plus an artillery regiment that attacked. Collectively, we are shattered!"
"Two and a half infantry regiments plus an artillery regiment?" Shan Shanyuan repeated the sentence casually, then his face changed drastically, and then he repeated it again before leaving, and even the intonation changed, "What did you say? Two
The semi-infantry regiment plus the artillery regiment are collectively broken into pieces, you mean collectively broken into pieces, collectively broken into pieces?!"
"Hai." Tsukada paused and said, "The collective jade is broken."
"Baga!" Convinced that the main force of the Kawaguchi detachment had been destroyed, Shan Shanyuan was furious and immediately stood up from his seat. The triangular eyes hidden under the hanging tips instantly flashed an extremely cold look, like
A venomous snake, staring at Tsukada Gong so hard that the hairs all over his body stood up.?`
After a long time, Shan Shanyuan said again: "Tsukada-san, are you saying that the main force of the Kawaguchi detachment was collectively destroyed?"
Tsukada sighed, raised the telegram in his hand and said: "Your Excellency Commander, I am afraid that not only the main force of the Kawaguchi detachment has been collectively destroyed, but the remaining headquarters of the Kawaguchi detachment is also in danger. This is the Yamaguchi of the Kawaguchi detachment's remaining headquarters."
Judging from the time of the farewell telegram sent by the Major to the Front Army Headquarters, Major Yamaguchi and the engineering regiment, baggage regiment, communications, and medical corps of more than 2,000 people each who stayed at the headquarters were probably collectively destroyed by now.
, that is to say, the nearly 9,000 people in the Kawaguchi detachment have been collectively shattered!"
Shanshan Yuan stared at Tsukada Gong and said word by word: "The Kawaguchi detachment has nearly 9,000 people, and they are collectively shattered?!"
"Hai." Tsukada replied expressionlessly, "Your Excellency, Commander, although I don't want to believe it, the fact is the fact after all. The Kawaguchi detachment is indeed collectively shattered."
After finishing speaking, Tsukada handed the farewell telegram from Major Yamaguchi to Sugimoto Yuan.
However, Shanshan Yuan did not reach out to pick it up. Instead, he walked around the executive desk and walked to stand in front of Tsukada Gong.
After enduring it for a long time, Shan Shanyuan still couldn't hold back his anger. He slapped Tsukada Kaname six times with his left and right bows. These six slaps were very hard. Tsukada Kaname's left and right cheeks immediately swelled up, and the right corner of his mouth was also swollen.
It was broken, and a trace of bright red blood immediately slid down the corner of his mouth, but Tsukada didn't dare to reach out to wipe it.
Regarding being beaten this time, Tsukada had nothing to say.
Because Kawaguchi Heiji was chosen and recommended by Tsukada Gong.
Now that Kawaguchi Heiji has suffered a defeat, Tsukada must bear joint responsibility.
Tsukada was even mentally prepared to be sent to an occupied area by Sugisu Yuan to be the commander of the military police. The Kawaguchi detachment suffered such a tragic failure. As the chief of staff who planned this mopping up operation, Tsukada was the first person responsible.
, his responsibility even exceeds that of Sugisu Yuan and Kawaguchi Heiji.
Shan Shanyuan slapped Tsukada Kao six times in the face, but he was still angry. If his hand hadn't been so painful, he really wanted to slap Tsukada Kao's face into a pig's head, until he even kissed him in the end.
Mom can't even recognize him, Tsukada Gong, Tsukada Gong, you damned me this time, you did me a terrible job!
But, what if Tsukada is killed?
With a long and depressed sigh, Shan Shanyuan sat back in the executive chair.
At this moment, Shan Shan Yuan can hardly describe his extremely complicated mood in words!
Shocked? Needless to say, Shanshan Yuan never thought that the Kawaguchi detachment would be completely wiped out by the Dameishan Independent Regiment. This was an entire detachment, a detachment! Moreover, this was not a third-rate detachment like Chongteng detachment.
troops, but an elite detachment based on the 101st Infantry Regiment!
What kind of force is the 101st Infantry Regiment? It is formed from the reserves of the 1st Division, and all the officers of this unit are transferred from the 1st Division. Such a force
, not only the training is the best among all the infantry regiments of the Japanese army, but the combat effectiveness is also the strongest.
But now, such an army has been completely wiped out.
What makes Shan Shanyuan even more unbelievable is that it was the Dameishan Independent Regiment that was annihilated by the Kawaguchi detachment.
The Dameishan Independent Regiment, just one regiment, just one regiment, actually wiped out the Kawaguchi detachment!
Amaterasu, is this true? If he hadn't known that Tsukada Gong never spoke harshly, Shanshan Yuan would have almost thought that this was a super joke played on him.
In addition to being shocked, Shan Shanyuan is more worried.
Yes, I am worried, because no one knows better than Shan Shanyuan what the collective destruction of the Kawaguchi detachment means to him and to the Central China Front Army.
Kawaguchi Heiji, as the directly responsible person, cannot escape the blame for the collective destruction of the Kawaguchi detachment, and Tsukada Tsukada, as the first responsible person, cannot escape the accountability of the base camp, but can he stay out of it just because Sugisugimoto cannot escape? No,
No, Tsukada Kaoru will definitely reveal the previous dispute between the two.
Because before this, Kawaguchi Heiji had called many times to ask for instructions, requesting that the quick battle be changed to a stalemate. Tsukada also expressed support for Kawaguchi Heiji's opinion, but Shanshan Yuan insisted on rejecting Kawaguchi Heiji's stalemate suggestion. If it weren't for Shanshan
If Motoichi goes his own way, Kawaguchi Heiji will not attack.
Therefore, Shan Shanyuan, the collective member of the Kawaguchi detachment, also has a lot of responsibility!
The collective jade of the Kawaguchi detachment created a very shameful record.
Before this, the Japanese Army had never been completely wiped out at the brigade or regiment level. During the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army suffered more than 100,000 casualties. However, there had never been a situation where the Japanese army at the regiment level or above was completely wiped out by the Russian army. In Nantong,
Although the Chongteng detachment suffered heavy losses during the war, it still retained auxiliary technical units such as artillery, baggage and engineers.
But now, the Kawaguchi detachment has been truly wiped out.
Faced with such an unprecedented defeat, can the base camp not be disappointed? Can the royal family not be angry?
Shan Shanyuan can completely imagine how disappointed and angry the royal family and the base camp will be when they know the news. Even if the royal family and the base camp will not dismiss him from his post because of this, I am afraid they will inevitably do so.
It left an impression of incompetence in the mind of His Majesty the Emperor.
Once such an impression is formed, there is almost no room for redemption.
This is almost disastrous for Shanshan Yuan, who has higher political ambitions.
For a moment, Shanshan Yuan came up with the idea of putting all the blame on Kawaguchi Heiji. Dead people can't talk anyway, so what's wrong with letting a dead person take the blame?
But soon, Shanshan Yuan gave up this idea because he knew that Tsukada would not cooperate.
Although Shan Shanyuan hates Tsukada Gong very much, he must also admit Tsukada Gong's character. This guy is a typical hard-headed man. If you expect him to cooperate with you to deceive the base camp and the royal family, you should rest as soon as possible. It seems that,
We should really think about how to explain this matter to the base camp and the royal family.
