Yang Zhen, who was sitting in the car with his eyes closed at this time, did not know that at the same time that he was rushing to the paddock to advance to the army headquarters day and night, in a certain underground air defense bunker in the Kwantung Army headquarters in Xinjing, Including General Yoshijiro Umezu, the commander known as the three giants of the Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Sadichi Yoshimoto, chief of staff, and Major General Tachibana Ayabe, the new deputy chief of staff.
The new Kwantung Army aviation commander, Lieutenant General Yoshitoshi Tokugawa, replaced the former Kwantung Army aviation commander Lieutenant General Endo Saburo, who had been ill for a long time after last autumn's battle. As well as the Kwantung Army senior staff first section chief Lieutenant General Tamura Yoshitomi, staff officer Lieutenant Commander Seitaro Takei, Lieutenant Colonel Toshio Nishimura, Director of Intelligence.
The head of the Special Intelligence Department, who specializes in collecting intelligence against the Soviet Union and the Anti-Alliance, Major General Yugui, including the Kwantung Army's rear staff chief Colonel Aoki Ichi, the newly established supply supervisory staff chief Takada Kiyohide, and other major officials from various departments of the Kwantung Army. All the responsible people are gathered here. Even all the senior combat staff of the Kwantung Army are gathered here. Even Naoki Hoshino, the director of the General Affairs Department of the Manchuria Empire who actually has the power of prime minister, and the president of Manchuria Railway are also present here.
To put it more exaggeratedly, if Yang Zhen had detailed information and knew that the entire Kwantung Army’s top brass was meeting here. Coupled with the two special bombs he had developed to deal with the fortresses built by the Kwantung Army in Eastern Manchuria, he would have completely The entire brain of the Kwantung Army can be dumped in one pot, so that at least for a considerable period of time, oneself will be completely relieved of the current troubles.
Without a brain, the Japanese army can only stop temporarily even if they have any conspiracies and tricks. It is a pity that because of the importance of this meeting of the Kwantung Army, not to mention the puppet Manchukuo military and political personnel. It is the Xinjing defense force and other agencies of the Japanese army in general. Neither officers nor soldiers knew it. Even ordinary officers in the Kwantung Army headquarters didn't know it.
At this time, the Kwantung Army Headquarters was surrounded by people from the Kwantung Army Gendarmerie Headquarters, who were on guard. Anyone, including the Japanese, who approached without permission could be shot to death on the spot without any warning. All participants in the meeting arrived at the meeting. After the Kwantung Army Headquarters, all food and accommodation are within the Kwantung Army Headquarters and are not allowed to leave.
Under this situation, even if the Anti-Japanese Alliance's underground intelligence work in Xinjing has been fully restored and developed greatly, it will still be difficult to obtain useful intelligence. After the large-scale mutiny of the puppet Manchu army last year, Japan People now completely distrust the Manchus.
If it weren't for the fact that under the current situation where gunfire is ringing outside Xinjing, these people need to serve as memorial tablets and stay in Xinjing to appease people's hearts. I'm afraid the Japanese would have torn off their faces long ago. Apart from stamping, there is no other job. All the tablets were thrown away. Not to mention that such an extremely important battle meeting would let them know.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the Anti-Japanese Alliance to obtain information from the top brass of the Kwantung Army. Otherwise, according to Yang Zhen's character, he would behead these demons at all costs in the demon lair of the commander of the Kwantung Army in Xinjing. Even if it is a long-range aviation force that has just formed combat effectiveness, it will not hesitate to suffer all losses.
At this moment, in addition to all the main personnel of various functional departments of the Kwantung Army, who are concentrated in the conference room below, there are also the Navy, specifically to cooperate with the Kwantung Army's operation, the naval aviation force stationed in North Korea's Wonsan Air Force and the stationed Major General Onishi Takijiro, commander of the 15th Joint Air Force established by the Jeju Island Land-based Air Force.
But compared with the other three giants of the Kwantung Army who either kept silent or deliberately pretended to be calm to show their general demeanor, as well as the heads and heads of other departments of the Kwantung Army, this man was wearing the same army uniform as those here.
, a navy navy uniform that seemed a bit out of place, and a large-brimmed hat that was much more beautiful than the army general's crotch-style cap, Major General Onishi Takijiro's face looked unusually plain.
Looking at these senior Kwantung Army generals who stomped their feet in the Kwantung Army and made the entire Japanese-occupied Northeast tremble, there was a look of contempt in their eyes. It was obvious that this Japanese
The Naval Aviation Rear Admiral looked down upon the Kwantung Army generals present. Among the senior Kwantung Army generals present who were swept by his contemptuous gaze, it was obvious that the Kwantung Army commander General Yoshijiro Umezu was sitting in the seat.
, are also included.
The two aviation team captains sitting behind him did the same. They looked at the army colleagues in front of them expressionlessly. They did not look particularly enthusiastic because many of the people in front of them were wearing collar badges representing their general status. Their faces were not particularly enthusiastic.
His expression seemed dull at first glance.
As for the contemptuous look flashing in the eyes of Major General Onishi Takijiro, who has always been called a Shura heretic within the Japanese naval aviation, and the reason why he looks down on the senior generals of the Kwantung Army present. In addition to the traditional differences between the Japanese navy and army,
Apart from disdain for each other, the more important thing is that these guys were actually defeated by the despicable Chinese people in his eyes.
These guys who always boasted themselves as the flowers of the imperial army and had their eyes on their heads were not only defeated by the Chinese army, but also beaten so badly. And who would have thought that just three years ago, those so-called anti-alliance forces were only
They could just be a group of bandits wandering in the mountains. They could do this under a good situation, and they must be these guys who always pride themselves on being the flowers of the imperial army. If Manchukuo is managed by the navy, I'm afraid the navy will only
Even if the Special Marines are dispatched, they can definitely do better than them.
In fact, for this Japanese naval admiral, who has an arrogant personality and is known as a thorn even within the navy, he was very reluctant to be temporarily transferred to the Kwantung Army this time. He was originally planning to transfer to the navy to prepare for the march south.
In preparation, the commander of the Eleventh Air Force was formed based on the land-based air force of the former navy stationed in Taiwan.
However, he did not expect that he had already arrived in Taiwan and was seizing the time to mobilize, organize and receive troops in accordance with the requirements of the Naval Aviation Headquarters. However, he was transferred from the subtropical Taiwan to the ice-covered Northeast China by a transfer order from the base camp. This was for someone who had already arrived in Taiwan.
He was very dissatisfied when he knew about the base camp's plan to move south.
The main targets of the battle south were the American aviation units stationed in the Philippines and the British Royal Air Force in the British colonies in Southeast Asia. In his eyes, those American and British aviation units that had received strict and formal training were the real powerful enemies. To him, they were the only real enemies.
It has a greater sense of challenge. As for the so-called aviation force in Manchuria, which is composed of despicable Chinese people in Manchuria, like the Caotai team, in his eyes they are not even garbage.
Although the army aviation was just that in his eyes, it was far from being compared with the powerful naval aviation under his command. However, the Kwantung Army aviation's repeated defeats against the Allied aviation made him look down upon. As for now,
, because those guys from the other side made sneak attacks from time to time, and even the combat meetings could only be held in underground air raid shelters. This made him even more contemptuous of his colleagues in the army.
It's just that although the contemptuous look of Major General Onishi Takijiro was well concealed, it was still discovered by the commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, who was sitting opposite him. The Rear Admiral's eyes that ordinary people could not accept made Umezu Yoshijiro
He was very annoyed. Among the generals wearing army uniforms, the navy rear admiral was wearing a navy blue uniform, which made him feel even more dazzling.
In order to keep confidentiality, the Kwantung Army asked the Rear Admiral and his entourage to change into army uniforms as soon as they arrived in Xinjing. However, the Rear Admiral and those under him were also
The subordinates of the Trickhead gang still went their own way and stubbornly wore this unique navy uniform.
It's just that this guy is going his own way. Although Umezu Yoshijiro is the commander of the Kwantung Army and an army general, because of the different organizational structures of the navy and army, at least now there is nothing he can do against this arrogant guy. He is the commander of the Kwantung Army, not the Prime Minister of the Navy.
, let alone the Chief of Naval Command. No matter how angry he is, he has no right to dismiss this guy from his post.
Moreover, even if he proposed a substitution to the Navy, I am afraid that the Navy, which has always gone its own way, would not pay attention to him. This time, the Army took the initiative to ask for help from the Navy. Although because of His Majesty the Emperor's intervention, the Navy had to send its most elite aviation forces to participate in the war. But who
I never thought that the Navy would send such a thorny thing to cooperate with the Kwantung Army in combat.
In fact, this time it was a coordinated operation between the navy and the army that was nominally proposed by the army. Before going south to Southeast Asia, it must be the common goal of the army and navy to completely eliminate the Anti-Japanese Alliance, a thorn in the side of Manchuria's security, and to build Manchuria into a solid rear for Japan during the war.
Without the supply of iron ore from Manchuria, the navy, which has a greater demand for steel, will be even more miserable.
But after the personnel selected by the Navy arrived, he discovered that for the Navy, that was not the case at all. Although this guy was considered a very talented and capable person in the Navy, he was famous for being difficult to manage.
.Even if this is a so-called national policy that is currently related to Japan's life and death, it does not matter to the navy.
Because for the navy, no matter how much territory it conquers, it will be occupied by your army. Except for the port, the navy has nothing to do with it. Your army has benefited, but you have the navy to share the cost with you. Isn't this just
I want to take advantage and don't want to suffer a loss.
In particular, the Kwantung Army has always strictly restricted the navy's activities in Manchuria. With the exception of Kanto State, the navy is basically not allowed to use the ports along the coast of Manchuria. Even the poor ships of the Puppet Manchukuo Coast Guard are
Being firmly controlled by the Kwantung Army, the Navy cannot even touch it. In this situation, it is strange that the Navy can really contribute.
Although the army and navy cooperated well in the Guanci Civil War, in China's Guanci Civilian battlefield, while the army was making a lot of money, the navy was also making a lot of money. Not to mention some big ports such as Qingdao and Shanghai, it was China.
Hainan Island, the second largest island in China, is also actually controlled by the navy.
You must know that the eastern coast has always been the richest area in China. Occupying these ports can be regarded as a considerable advantage for the navy. The annual transportation volume of these ports and astronomical smuggled goods are enough for the navy.
I was satisfied with the fishing.
In addition, during the air raids on Deng's rear area in Chongqing, the navy repeatedly overwhelmed the army. Therefore, the two armies cooperated fairly well on the battlefield in the Guanci Civil War. After all, they all served the emperor, so there was no distinction between the navy.
Army. However, regarding the war in Manchuria, the Navy made it clear that it was reluctant to intervene.
