Chapter 327 Japanese reaction

About an hour later, the Chinese Channel of Phoenix Radio Station interjected the news that the Chinese army annihilated the 150th Japanese Regiment in the Pinghu area of ​​the Zhajia Line, killed more than 4,000 people below the captain of the regiment, and seized a side of the gang flag, and countless guns and ammunition.

The concerns were confirmed, and the 10th Japanese Army Command finally became noisy.

"Yamamoto Shigetsu deserves to die"

"Curse the eighteen levels of hell in the mountain, and go up the knife and go down the oil pan..."

"The crime should be made public and his family should be despised for life."

"There are also to be held accountable, especially the 114th Division..."

"Everyone in Bageyalu shuts up"

Yanagawa Heisuke turned around with a murderous face, his face turned pale, and he looked at the generals in the room. The temperature in the command cabin seemed to drop by more than ten degrees. Within the eyes, many people couldn't help but shivered.

Lieutenant General Shigeji Momatsu and Chief of Staff Captain Isoda Saburo, who was standing in front of the window, quickly lowered his head.

However, evading is not a solution

"Commander, the 150th Regiment throws away the military flag is a shame for our division, and even more so for the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire." Shigeji Momatsu, the commander of the 114th Division, came to Yanagawa Heisuke, bowed deeply to the commander, and said with deep affection: "Your Excellency, please let me take a cesarean section for this!"

The 150th Regiment flag was seized by the New Second Division. This was a matter of breaking the sky. It would definitely alarm the Tokyo base camp and might not even disturb His Majesty the Emperor. Someone must be responsible for this. Although Yamamoto Shigetsu is dead, the 114th Division will also be severely punished.

In this incident, Yamamoto Shigetsu, who insisted on pursuing, was the first responsible person, and Major General Oboo, the commander of the 128th Brigade, was still on the way, so Shigeji Sumatsu would become the second responsible person, but he did not want to have a caesarean section, so he came to test Yanagawa Heisuke's attitude by advancing as a retreat.

Sure enough, Shigeji Matsu's request made Heisuke Yanagawa very satisfied. After all, this was a responsible and rigorous style. Heisuke Yanagawa did not intend to let Shigeji Matsu take his own cesarean section. The follow-up forces of the 114th Division were arriving continuously, and it was waiting for Shigeji Matsu to command him.

Furthermore, the 114th Division is a newly formed division. If the division commander rashly lets the division commander slaughter, it will make the 114th Division, which is already extremely shameful, worsens the injury and will not be beneficial to the subsequent battles.

Finally, Shiroji Matsu was the leader of the lieutenant general division, and he was equal to the commander of the Yanagawa Heisuke in terms of military rank. In addition to asking for help, he was asked to order the emperor himself. In addition to his ability, Shiroji Matsu became a lieutenant general in the empire. In addition to his own abilities, he also had a mixed relationship network behind him. As the backbone of the Imperial Sect, Yanagawa Heisuke, who was dismissed from his home, did not want to have a stalemate with Shiroji Matsu, who was the general of the Imperial Sect.

His eyes swept over Shigeji Sumatsu, and Yanagawa Heisuke's eyes focused on Colonel Isoda Saburo, Chief of Staff of the 114th Division.

Isoda Saburo's face turned pale and cold sweat dripped down. He bowed to Yanagawa Heisuke from afar and said in panic: "Commander, I am willing to be responsible for this, please let me slaughter."

"Hmph"

Yanagawa Heisuke sneered, his eyes ejaculated with cold light, and his tone was not filled with emotion, as if he was talking to a dead person:

"As the chief of staff of the division, Isoda Jun is responsible for the formulation and implementation of the combat plan of the entire division. Now your division has suffered an unprecedented defeat. Isoda Jun, you should indeed take responsibility bravely and use your saber and boiling blood to prove your loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor."

"ah?"

Saburo Isoda's face was pale and there was no blood at all. He looked at Major General Tada Morimori, chief of staff of the 10th Army, and asked for help. Unexpectedly, Tada Morimori turned his head away on his own initiative, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

In the Japanese army, military and military orders are completely separated by two-way systems. The chief of staff can only be the chief of staff at the higher level. Now Moritake of Tado takes the initiative to put aside his relationship with his subordinates, and Isoda Saburo can only accept his miserable life

In the sad gaze of a deceased rabbit or a tragic fox, Colonel Isoda walked towards the door with difficulty.

Yanagawa Heisuke looked at the lonely and lonely back of Isoda Saburo, and whispered: "Isoda, go all the way

Shigeji Matsumatsu breathed a long sigh of relief. Someone was responsible for the loss of the military flag of the corps under his command. The matter can come to an end at this point. The next step is to wait for the ruling of the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor. However, Shigeji Matsumatsu did not dare to act too calm and bowed to Heisuke Yanagawa again:

"Commander, please allow me to have my caesarean section and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

Yanagawa Heisuke waved his hand, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Since Isoda Jun has already taken his own self-destruction, let's record the responsibility of Momatsu Jun. If Momatsu Jun still performs poorly in the subsequent war, then I have to ask Momatsu Jun to prove your loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor with blood."

Major General Tanabe Morito, chief of staff of the 10th Army, had other ideas, and pulled Yanagawa Heisuke's hand, and said in a low voice as if he was ashamed of mosquitoes: "Commander, since Sumatsu Jun wants to be responsible for this, why not help him?"

In Tanabe Morito's opinion, the loss of the 114th Division's loss of the corps flag was reported to Tokyo, which would inevitably cause a huge earthquake. Even if the generals of the base camp only use spit, they would flood the 10th Army. Except for the commander, Yanagawa Heisuke, he could not get the best of this matter. But if Shigeji Sumatsu also chose to commit suicide and apologize, then Yanagawa Heisuke and him would have much less responsibility.

Seeing Tanabe Moetake's worried expression, Yanagawa Heisuke shook his head. His chief of staff's political strategy was still a little short. The temptation of Shigeji Matsu said this was very strong. If he agreed, he might not be like

Although Tanabe Moribu's voice was very low, Shigeji Sumatsu heard it. He raised his body slightly, cast a hatred look at the Chief of Staff, and then bowed deeply in a concealed manner, his tone became even more subtle:

"The two brigade units and two full-scale corpses under our division, as well as the 118th Cavalry Brigade, the 120th Field Artillery Regiment, and the 114th Engineer Regiment are about to arrive. Please allow me to lead the troops to avenge the thousands of heroes who have passed away from our Great Japanese Imperial Army and regain the lost 150th Regiment flag."

After pushing Saburo Isoda to be a scapegoat, Yanagawa Heisuke's mood also calmed down and looked at Shigeji Sumatsu with a smile:

"As the commander of the 10th Army, I am also responsible for the loss of the military flag. I will report my fault to His Majesty the Emperor and the Tokyo Base Camp. However, I wonder if you have considered why we failed? Why was a main corps wiped out under the bombing of our fleet gun group and aircraft that we have the advantage..."

There was still silence in the command center.

"It's worth pondering"

Yanagawa Heisuke sighed and then slowly said: "There is a saying among the Chinese people that victory and defeat are common in military affairs, but the key is to learn from it experience and lessons from it 丨 We were too careless this time. Originally, I thought the combat effectiveness of the New Second Division in front of me was at most equal to that of the Chinese Central Army German-Armed Division, but now it seems that the combat effectiveness of this New Second Division must surpass that of the German-Armed Division, and their commander Wu Ming is even more difficult."

"Your Excellency Commander, our opponents are so cunning. It is unbearable that they dare to make fraud under our noses."

Mo Song Maozhi's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth and said, "Commander, our division must do its best to eliminate Wu Ming and his new second division."

Yanagawa Heisuke's eyes were like torches, his eyes covered Shigeji Momoji with a gloomy tone: "I say it again, failure is not scary, what is scary is that you cannot learn from failure. Bumomoji. If you don't have the courage to be defeated, I really doubt whether you have the ability to rule a division."

Shigeji Shirouchi looked up and looked at Yanagawa Heisuke in confusion.

Yanagawa Heisuke strode to the side of the command cabin, looked at the large map hanging on the wall, reached out to take the baton from the staff, pointed to the fortifications east of Dushantang in northeastern Kowloon, and said to the generals

"Please look at the fortifications of the Chinese army on this line. Why did it quickly collapse after a long period of blocking?"

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Yanagawa Heisuke pointed to the location of Highland No. 1 and then said: "No one expected that this small mound with an altitude of only fifty or sixty meters would be effectively used by the Chinese army to block our sight, isolate the attack of the fleet's gun group, and fire a perfect ambush from the 150th Regiment."

Yanagawa Heisuke snorted coldly, glanced at everyone, and said sternly: "Since the essence of the tactical, shouldn't you study hard? China is an ancient civilization with a history of 5,000 years. Their culture is profound. A book called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" hundreds of years ago reflected many military wisdom... The destruction of the Yamamoto corps is still valuable. We must not underestimate the Chinese army, especially the current New Second Division and their commander Wu Ming."

"Hai"

The generals nodded together. Although some of the deadly hard elements did not agree with Yanagawa Heisuke's evaluation, they had to be sure that the New Second Division adopted excellent tactics.

Yanagawa Heisuke waved his hand to the attendant next to him. The attendant knew how to turn on the radio fixed to the cabinet. A melodious music came from the speaker of the radio, followed by a wonderful Japanese female voice.

"My dear compatriots, my name is Ashin. I am a victim of the war. Four years ago, my elder brother was sent to the China-Manchuria-Mongolia area by the military headquarters. In the end, he died in Peiping in order to obtain the intelligence of the Chinese people. However, the military headquarters did not inform our family... A year ago, I fled to China to find him..."

A woman's crying sound came from the radio, and she cried thousands of times, making people cry. Then the choked female voice continued:

"My sister-in-law is very beautiful and a famous beauty in the village. Once when she was washing clothes, she was seen by General Yanagawa, the former commander of the First Division. General Yanagawa led people to my home and insulted my sister-in-law in my kitchen... My five-year-old nephew wanted to beat the bad guy who insulted his mother, but was killed by General Yanagawa with a saber."

"General Yanagawa was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he ordered someone to rape and kill my 46-year-old mother who was ill in bed, and then silence everyone in the family... At that time, I hid in the cellar where sweet potatoes were stored at home, and then escaped by chance. Afterwards, I found the police station to call the police, but was locked in a mental hospital as a madman. It was not until the Kanto Army recruited a comfort girl that I had the honor to escape from the devil's claws and come to the land of China."

A woman's sob came, and a Japanese male voice appeared on the radio:

"My dear fellows, my name is Shigeru Oshima, I am from Tokyo and a victim of the war... My elder brother and I came to China Manchuria two years ago for the great cause of the empire. They almost died several times while encircling the guerrillas. But what did we get? My sister-in-law in my family was taken aback by the son of the division leader's family and humiliated to death. My fiancée was sent to Nanyang and became a prostitute who earned foreign exchange for the country. We fought in foreign countries, and except for using our lives and blood to satisfy the desire for conquest of the powerful people, what did we get?"

The intermittent woman choked up from the speaker: "My dearest compatriots, soldiers, we all have parents, brothers and sisters, and children, but what did the war get us? We have nothing except the bad luck of parents being killed, wife being raped, sisters being trafficked, and children being unattended."

Immediately afterwards, the two voices gathered together and said, "Everyone of us Japanese, don't fight and let this damn war game, let the powerful play it on their own."

"Baga"

Shigeji Momatsu was furious, and the other generals were also indignant, threatening to arrest a man and a woman who betrayed the empire on the radio station, and use the most vicious punishment to make them worse than death.

"Enough"

Yanagawa Heisuke slapped the wall heavily and glanced coldly: "Even the slandered person is not angry. Why are you so angry? According to our intelligence personnel monitoring, this radio station was from China. Currently, only Nanjing and Quzhou radio stations that can radiate the entire territory of China are Nanjing and Quzhou. Our intelligence agency in Quzhou was destroyed by Wu Ming's new second division. The intelligence department judged that the radio station is likely to be Wu Ming doing the trick now. So, you must be careful of Wu Ming and the new second division he commanded."

Yanagawa Heisuke served as the commander of the First Division three years ago, so there is such a saying.

Yanagawa Heisuke raised his voice: "Last night, when I was checking the cabin, I saw the officer on duty listening to the program of this mysterious radio station and wiping my tears secretly. You should now know how much the station has hit the morale of our Imperial Japanese Army. I think the reason why there are shameful soldiers who surrender today is not unrelated to this."

Speaking of this, Yanagawa Heisuke's face turned solemn and his tone became even more severe: "I order that no one in the army is allowed to listen to the radio, so that the officer can confiscate all the radios."

Hearing Yanagawa Heisuke's orders, the Sas were embarrassed, especially the Navy.

After all, the Japanese army was far away from their hometown and came to China to fight. Listen to the radio in their spare time to adjust their nervousness and pass the boring time. If the radio is surrendered, it will be even more difficult for ordinary soldiers, especially sailors, to survive the long night, which may cause a series of unnecessary chaos.

At this moment, news came from the 66th Regiment that the corps leader Yamada Takata Zhongsao died on his way back. At present, the 66th Regiment has retreated to Qiuxu Village under the leadership of the Chief of Staff and is moving towards Longhu Town.

Hesuke Yanagawa was almost crazy when he heard the bad news, and his blood-red eyes stared at the command center.

"Hayi—"

At this point, the generals dared not have any noise. They stood attentively and agreed in unison.
