The threat that Okamura Neiji poses to China and the Chinese nation cannot be overstated!
So as long as there is a chance, Xu Rui will kill him without hesitation. In the past, Okamura Neji served as the division commander of the second division of the Kwantung Army, which was far away in the northeast. Xu Rui had nothing to do with him. Later, when the Wuhan Battle broke out,
Okamura Neiji was promoted to the commander of the 11th Army of the Central China Condemnation Army, just as in history, and Xu Rui once had the idea of assassination.
Unfortunately, before Xu Rui could take action, a little devil named Dong Jiuer and the 10th Division came to the door. Xu Rui could only temporarily put the idea of assassinating Okamura Neji behind. Now the 10th Division
The division had been completely wiped out by the independent group, and Xu Rui immediately had the idea of assassinating Okamura Neji.
As for the public threat to assassinate Shunroku Hata, firstly, it was to divert the attention of the Japanese so that the old Japanese, Shunroku Hata, could not take care of the raids on Damei Mountain for the time being; secondly, it was for tactical deception to attract Shunsi Okahara's special operations brigade to Nanjing.
When Langya sneaked into Jiujiang and assassinated Okamura Neji, it would be relatively easy.
As a time traveler, Xu Rui knew very well that Okamura Neiji was powerful and Wang Husheng was not a time traveler, so he didn't take it seriously.
"Old Xu, even if Okamura Neji is more powerful than other old devils, his power is limited. Even if you assassinate Okamura Neji, the Japanese emperor will send another old devil here. It will be useless. You can't kill him.
Kill all the commanders sent by the Japanese Emperor, right?" Wang Husheng shook his head and said, "So, I still don't agree with you taking risks."
After a pause, Wang Husheng continued: "As for diverting attention, since you have publicly announced on the radio that you are going to Nanjing to assassinate Shunroku Hata, then you have achieved the purpose of diverting attention, so there is no need to do so.
It is necessary to put oneself in danger and go to Jiujiang with the wolf fangs to assassinate him."
Xu Rui didn't know how to explain to Wang Husheng.
From Wang Husheng's point of view, it is normal to think so. In his opinion, Okamura Neji is just an ordinary Japanese general. If Okamura Neji dies, there will be another Okamura Taro, Okamura Saburo and so on.
, the Japs’ combat effectiveness will not necessarily be weakened, but Xu Rui is irreplaceable for the independent group.
Therefore, Wang Husheng would never agree to Xu Rui's adventure in Jiujiang.
But Xu Rui knew that Okamura Neji was irreplaceable to the Japanese army!
Without Okamura Neiji, little Japan would never have another Okamura Neiji. As the commander of the North China Front Army and even the Chinese Condemnation Force, he would have caused irreparable heavy losses to China! Objectively speaking,
With or without Okamura Neiji, the course of the Anti-Japanese War would have been completely different.
Therefore, Xu Rui must go to Jiujiang.
Xu Rui said: "Lao Wang, whether you agree or not, I will make the decision in Jiujiang."
"Old Xu, otherwise." Wang Husheng said, "Let the veteran take Langya to Jiujiang, but you can't go."
Leng Tiefeng immediately nodded and said: "Old Xu, I think it's okay. Our Dameishan Military Division is very weak now. You should really stay at home and take charge at this time. I can just go to Jiujiang."
Xu Rui shook his head and said: "There is only one chance to assassinate Okamura Neji. If you fail once, I'm afraid there will be no second chance, so I have to go in person."
Wang Lusheng became anxious: "Old Xu, you are a donkey, right? You won't listen to me no matter what."
"Old Wang, I am a donkey." Xu Rui said cheerfully, "Anyway, I have decided to go to Jiujiang. When I kill Okamura Neji, you can do whatever you want with me when I come back, even if you really remove me from my post.
, if you really ask me to be the cooking squad leader, I will have no complaints, and I will definitely cooperate with you in your work, how about it?"
Wang Husheng didn't know how to persuade Xu Rui.
Xu Rui continued: "Veterans and Lao Wang, in order to make the assassination as sudden as possible, we probably can't do nothing in Nanjing, so it is necessary to get in touch with the comrades of the Nanjing underground party. In the past few days,
Let them make some noise in Nanjing to warm up old devils like Shunroku Hata."
Wang Husheng sighed and said, "But how should I tell the head of the military about this?"
Xu Rui smiled and said, "What should I say? Tell the truth. Anyway, I have too many fleas and it doesn't itch. At worst, I will be punished."
"The worst case scenario is that you'll be punished again? That's easy to say." Wang Husheng said angrily, "Did you know that you are now carrying the punishment of being recorded a major demerit within the party? What's more, you will be put on probation by the party. Do you know that you will be punished by the party?"
What does it mean to be under party inspection? This will become a stain that cannot be washed away in your life, and you will not be able to think about progress."
Xu Rui smiled and said: "As long as I can kill Okamura Neji, I will accept his expulsion from the party."
"Let me go, are you really so afraid of Okamura Neji?" Wang Husheng said in shock.
Xu Rui nodded and said: "Yes, I am so afraid of Neji Okamura. It is worth spending any price to kill him. If the 10th Division hadn't invaded before, I might have taken action long ago."
Wang Husheng said bitterly: "Okay, then I will take the blame."
(Dividing line)
Nanjing Fanghua Garden, the cabinet meeting has ended.
Okamura Neji was retained by Hata Shunroku.
Shunroku Hata was very dissatisfied with the promotion of Neiji Okamura to the commander of the Eleventh Army at the base camp, but Shunroku Hata recognized Neiji Okamura's ability. During the Wuhan battle, Neiji Okamura
It also demonstrated his ability, especially the long-term detour to Zhuzhou and the lightning-fast battle to seize Changsha, which further proved his commanding ability. Therefore, for the upcoming general offensive, Hata Shunroku vs. Okamura Ning
This time I had high hopes.
It is precisely because of this that Shunroku Hata deliberately kept Neji Okamura.
Shunroku Hata didn't think he could give Okamura Neiji any specific guidance on tactics. He just wanted to give Okamura Neiji a personal boost to make him more confident.
"Okamura-san, please do it this time."
"You're welcome, General. This is the duty of a humble official."
The two of them had just started talking, when heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the office, and the closed door was moved away, and then the pale-faced Dong Jiu Nianyan hurriedly walked in, standing next to Dong Jiu Nian Yan.
Behind him was Hata Shunroku's adjutant, who cast an apologetic look at Hata Shunroku for not being able to stop Higashikata.
Ignoring that Shunroku Hata had other guests, Higashikata stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency, General, I am the commander of the Second Army. I have the authority to move the 15th and 16th Divisions from Jinzhai.
The mall frontline has been transferred back. Although you are my superior, you have no power to change my orders."
Shunroku Hata frowned and said: "Your Highness, I forgot to inform you before. Since your injury has not recovered, the base camp has decided to suspend your position as commander. The position of commander of the Second Army will be held by me concurrently, so I have not
You have not exceeded your authority. As for you, Your Highness, you should go back to the field hospital to recuperate in peace of mind."
"Nani?" Dong Jiu'er Nianyan was dumbfounded, "Why didn't I know about this?"
"If your highness doesn't believe it, you can ask the base camp for confirmation." Shunroku Hata said calmly.
Regarding this matter, Shunroku Hata really wasn't talking nonsense. Higashikawa Nagihiko's poor command led to the 10th Division being completely annihilated by the Daimeishan Independent Regiment. This incident not only aroused extreme dissatisfaction with him in the base camp, but even
Emperor Julien Hirohito also lost confidence in his imperial uncle, so it was reasonable to suspend Higashikata Higashihiko.
His family knew about his family affairs and knew that Shunroku Hata would not lie to him about this matter.
At that moment, Dong Jiuyan softened and said: "Your Majesty General, although the 10th Division was collectively shattered, their sacrifices were not without cost. After this battle, Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment also suffered heavy casualties.
Now is the time when the Independent Regiment is at its weakest. At this time, if the 15th and 16th Divisions are transferred back, they can carry out the second mopping up operation on Damei Mountain with the might of Lei Ting, and they will surely win a complete victory.
.”
After a pause, Dong Jiu'er Nianyan added: "On the contrary, if we give up the raid on Dameishan at this time, the Dameishan Independent Regiment will not only receive sufficient training, but also after completing the training, the Dameishan Independent Regiment will
It is more powerful and will be more difficult to deal with in the future. If this is the case, the jade fragments of the 10th Division will be truly worthless."
Daqingdong Jiuyou Nianyan hasn't given up yet, he still wants to destroy Xu Rui's independent group.
It is a pity that Shunroku Hata was not moved at all and said: "Your Highness, I have something else to do, please go back first."
"Is it because of Xu Rui's declaration of war?" Dong Jiuyan said again, "General, you must not take Xu Rui's radio speech seriously. He is diverting attention and creating a tense atmosphere.
The army's attention is diverted from Damei Mountain so that his independent regiment can rest and recuperate, but we cannot be fooled."
Shunroku Hata became impatient and frowned and said: "Your Highness, I have already thought about how to deal with Xu Rui. However, out of responsibility for your health, you should return to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Leave the rest to me."
Just let Okamura-san take care of it, I promise to destroy Xu Rui and his Dameishan Independent Group, okay?"
Seeing that he could not convince Hata Shunroku, Azumi could only turn around and leave angrily.
Watching Higashi Higashihihiko's figure go away, Okamura Neiji said: "Your Excellency, General, what Your Highness just said was actually not wrong. Xu Rui publicly issued a challenge through the radio. Mostly it was just to divert attention. His true intention
I’m afraid it was to draw the imperial army’s attention to Nanjing so that his troops would have plenty of time to rest and regroup.”
"What?" Shunroku Hata frowned and said, "Okamura-san also thinks that annihilating Xu Rui is more important than ending the Wuhan battle?"
"Of course not." Okamura Neji shook his head and said, "Although Xu Rui is difficult to deal with, he is still no more than a regiment of troops. To the imperial army, it is just a scabies disease. As soon as the battle on the front battlefield is over, the imperial army will
You can easily crush it by turning it around, but the Battle of Wuhan is related to the destiny of the empire and cannot be ignored."
