In Taiyuan, the commander of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka, did not look very good.
Yoshio Shinozuka waved the saber in his hand and chopped all the vases on the table into pieces. The anger on his face could not be concealed at all. As the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka was responsible for the North China Front Army's war in Shanxi. In order to obtain corresponding
He repeatedly launched sieges and suppression campaigns against the Eighth Route Army base areas. Even though he failed repeatedly, Shinozuka Yoshio continued to mobilize troops to carry out sieges and blockades against the Eighth Route Army base areas.
In the view of Yoshio Shinozuka, the Eighth Route Army is the most unstable element in the occupied areas. The most important thing is that the Eighth Route Army is growing stronger and developing in the occupied areas. The previous encirclement and suppression campaigns have not received support from the North China Front Army Headquarters.
However, Yoshio Shinozuka knew that it was already too late to pay attention to the Eighth Route Army in the occupied areas until the Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale battle.
In order to eliminate the Eighth Route Army in North China and destroy the Eighth Route Army's base areas, the North China Front Army Headquarters mobilized various garrison troops to launch a sweep against the Eighth Route Army in the occupied areas. In order to complete the strategic purpose of the sweep, the North China Front Army Commander Tada Shun also sent troops from the Mongolian Army.
Transfer an armored brigade back to enhance the combat effectiveness of the garrison in the occupied area.
The North China Front took the initiative to organize a raid on the Eighth Route Army base areas in the occupied areas. Naturally, Shinozuka Yoshio would not have any problems. Instead, he fully cooperated. He also hoped to kill these active Eighth Route Army. But today, Shinozuka Yoshio was
Extremely angry, the 36th Division is under the leadership of the First Army and is a unit under the First Army. But under such circumstances, the North China Front Army Headquarters directly mobilized the 36th Division.
At the same time, the frontline battle report of the 36th Division did not fall into the hands of him, the commander of the First Army. Instead, it was sent to the North China Front Army Headquarters. Yoshio Shinozuka knew this, so how could he not be angry?
?It is not that there is no competition within the army. Yoshio Shinozuka also has many competitors. He can imagine that his competitors must be snickering secretly! But even if Yoshio Shinozuka is dissatisfied, he can't do anything about it.
The division commander of the 36th Division, Jing Guanren, and they were all lieutenant generals. If they wanted to attack Jingguan Ren, they simply couldn't do it.
"Baga! Baga!" Shinozuka Yoshio's anger subsided a little after he chopped up all the vases he could see.
The officers in the headquarters lowered their heads and did not dare to look up at Yoshio Shinozuka. They knew that Yoshio Shinozuka was in a bad mood, and they would not let Yoshio Shinozuka vent his anger on them. The officers lowered their heads.
Head, no one has the idea of speaking. The frontline troops' sweep of the Eighth Route Army base area is not going well. It is too late for them to be happy, and they are not involved. These officers are naturally happy to watch the show.
"Baga! You wastes! Wastes!" Yoshio Shinozuka glanced at the officers in the headquarters, with an obvious cold light flashing in his eyes.
The officers in the headquarters still lowered their heads. They accepted the reprimand from Yoshio Shinozuka. Even after being reprimanded a few times, there was no problem. The attack of the frontline troops had nothing to do with these officers. If it was their
If the troops are fighting the Eighth Route Army on the front line, then these officers will definitely speak without hesitation and say something to plead for the front line troops. But unfortunately, they have no involvement with the front line troops, so naturally they will not choose to speak.
"Do you think you can disassociate yourself without speaking up? Launching a raid on the Eighth Route Army base area is an order from the North China Front Army Headquarters. The raids in other areas are progressing faster than ours. When the time comes, I will be punished by the North China Front Army Headquarters, and you will definitely be punished too.
Affected. As officers under the First Army, you will also be implicated if the war goes wrong with the 36th Division and the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, which are responsible for attacking the Eighth Route Army base areas on the front line."
"Do you really want to make the North China Front Army Headquarters think that our First Army is useless? Do you want our First Army's great military exploits and prestige to be destroyed in your hands?" Yoshio Shinozuka
Said angrily.
Shinozuka Yoshio's words made it impossible for the officers in the headquarters to remain silent. As members of the First Army, they are naturally closely related to the First Army. If the reputation of the First Army is really ruined, then they
These people will inevitably be affected, not to mention that these officers did not speak up before, but they also felt that the 36th Division and the Independent Mixed 4th Brigade could get a lot of benefits from raiding the Eighth Route Army base areas, while they could only stay in the rear
Looking at it, there is no benefit at all. Under this condition, these officers will naturally not speak easily now.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the battle on the front line is not going well, so we only need to mobilize more soldiers to reinforce the 36th Division and the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade to complete the sweep of the Eighth Route Army base areas! With the combat effectiveness of our Imperial Japanese Army,
Tubalu will never be our opponent!" an officer said.
Other officers also expressed their support. The way to solve the problem is very simple. The battle on the front line is not going well and the sweep of the Eighth Route Army base areas cannot be completed quickly. Then we only need to increase the number of troops to make the Eighth Route Army unable to resist. Naturally, there will be no
problem. And the increased troop strength will undoubtedly bring certain military exploits to the officers present, so they are naturally very willing.
"Baga! They are all trash! Do you still want to tell me to do this?" Yoshio Shinozuka said angrily. Looking at the officers in the headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka looked ugly. These officers disappointed him so much.
, are these people still the elites of the Japanese Empire? In Yoshio Shinozuka's view, the officers present were all useless. The combat effectiveness of the imperial soldiers was not weak, but the Eighth Route Army was not an opponent that could be easily solved.
If the Eighth Route Army can be easily eliminated, then he, the commander of the First Army, has repeatedly launched raids on the Eighth Route Army’s base areas but failed to kill it. Doesn’t that mean something? Looking at these officers, Shinozuka Yoshi
The man had no intention of continuing to talk to them. He didn't want to waste his time anymore.
"Go down! Mobilize troops! Be ready to support the frontline battle at any time!" Yoshio Shinozuka said coldly, looking at the officers present with a particularly unkind look. Unfortunately, Yoshio Shinozuka also knew that there was not much he could do against these officers.
, the families behind these officers are not weak, even if he is the Army's lottery winner, these officers cannot be punished without reason.
Watching these officers leave the headquarters, Shinozuka Yoshio's anger calmed down a lot, but he was also sure that he would never discuss with these officers again in the future, just give them combat orders directly! It's good to be able to complete the orders, and
If they cannot complete the order, then his commander will have enough reason to punish them!
"Yamamoto, come out." After a moment of silence, Shinozuka Yoshio said.
