As for Hattori Takushiro's request to expand the cavalry unit's search range by 50 kilometers, Yasui Fujiharu didn't really buy it. What if the opponent just detoured back to his flank? Didn't he simply beat that idiot and let others play cripples as soon as he came up?
[.Com text] Attacked the general Shi Xian, and beat one regiment to half a disability. Another regiment was dragged into the swamp and starved to death.
Later, when the opponent adopted roundabout tactics and launched a counterattack across the board, the 24th Division, which had strengthened a regiment, was left with only the 14th Regiment to support the overall situation. His own headquarters was in the first place.
Time was wasted by others, causing the remaining defeated soldiers to lose their unified command and could only fight independently, allowing others to defeat them one by one.
I will move the three regiments together to attack in the center, and one regiment will support the rear. Although the progress is slower, it will never leave an opportunity for the opponent to take advantage of. Let me release the second cavalry regiment fifty kilometers away. Once
If something unusual happened to the Second Cavalry Regiment, wouldn't it mean that he didn't even have a chance to rescue him?
Looking at the uncertain expression on Toji Yasui's face even though he did not express his direct rejection, Hattori Takushiro, who understood that Lieutenant General Yasui did not agree with his idea, frowned and said: "Lieutenant General Yasui, don't you think it's useful?"
Regarding the possible dangers of a cavalry regiment, is it a very challenging task to verify whether the opponents are currently fighting independently or whether there is still a unified command situation?"
"Your Excellency Yasui, as the Harbin garrison commander when these people broke out from the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply last year, you should not be ignorant of the emperor's urgency to eliminate these people as soon as possible. If the intelligence provided by the Kwantung Army's intelligence department is true, the opponent's supreme commander
Having lost the ability to command, wouldn’t your second division be able to take the opportunity to defeat them one by one and achieve this unparalleled feat for His Majesty the Emperor?”
"Are you just watching a good fighter plane slip away in your hands because you are unwilling to let your cavalry regiment take risks that may not exist? Aren't you worried that the emperor and the Tokyo base camp will pursue you for delaying the fighter plane afterwards?
Crime? I heard that the Tokyo Base Camp has decided to remove Lieutenant General Ogisu Tatehei from the post of commander of the Sixth Army, and you, Lieutenant General Yasui, are the first choice to succeed the commander of this army."
Since Hattori Takushiro dared to plan with several staff members of the Kwantung Army Staff Headquarters to expand the conflict in Nomenhan and push the 23rd Division of the Kwantung Army into a fire pit, he naturally would not care about the dignity of a lieutenant general division commander. He
These words were said tactfully, but the tone was only one-third persuasive, and seven-tenths could be said to be threatening.
Takujiro Hattori heard the meaning behind Takushirō Hattori's words. He was extremely dissatisfied that the staff officer in front of him, whose military rank was just that of a lieutenant colonel, dared to threaten a lieutenant general. But he knew that this guy's military rank was only that of a lieutenant general.
Lieutenant Colonel, his position is just that of a staff officer. But his network is very wide, and he is highly regarded by General Umezu Yoshijiro.
Otherwise, General Umezu Yoshijiro would not have left aside Geno Nakayama, who succeeded him as the Chief Operations Staff Officer of the Kwantung Army, withheld the transfer order for this guy from the Tokyo Base Camp, and continued to retain him in such an important position as the Chief Operations Staff Officer of the Kwantung Army.
superior.
As long as this guy says something bad about himself in front of General Umezu Yoshijiro before he is promoted, and changes General Umezu Yoshijiro's impression of him, it will really cause him a lot of trouble. If General Umezu Yoshijiro resolutely objects, he will
The army commander position that has been obtained is likely to become a duck that flies away after being cooked.
After hesitating for a long time, Yasui Toji finally could not resist the temptation of being promoted to general, and nodded slightly. He reluctantly agreed to this guy's suggestion to expand the search distance of the cavalry unit to fifty kilometers.
Seeing Toji Yasui nod, Hattori Takushiro breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that this guy was as stubborn as Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, the leader of the Fourth Division, and didn't know how to praise. No matter how he intimidated and lured him, he would
He refused to spit out his words and sent troops without permission without written orders from the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
Of course, Hattori Takushiro, who is familiar with the personalities of these Osaka soldiers of the Fourth Division, will never let these Osaka soldiers go to the front line. Not only will they not be helpers, but they will involve others. After the battle at Gunze Mountain, he was tricked
The tragic fate of the 33rd Regiment of the 11th Division has proved with living facts that partnering with the Osaka soldiers is definitely not a good thing.
According to Hattori Takushiro's plan, the Fourth Division sending troops was just a bluff, a move used to attract the enemy's attention and distract the opponent. If the Fourth Division really went to the front line to charge, Hattori Takushiro was not stupid enough.
To that extent, there is no way to lose your mind and go crazy.
Seeing the habitual sinister smile on Hattori Takushiro's face after he nodded, Ani Toji sighed slightly, secretly admiring the courage of General Umezu Yoshijiro. General Umezu Yoshijiro actually dared to use this audacious man to conquer the world.
There was nothing he dared not do, so he continued to serve as the chief operational staff officer of the Kwantung Army. He even secretly competed with the Tokyo General Staff Headquarters and forced the person who took over to sit aside to enjoy the northwest wind.
General Umezu Yoshijiro only saw that his predecessor, General Ueda Kenkichi, was just a bad luck star. First, a powerful anti-Manchu anti-Japanese force suddenly emerged in Manchuria. The Emperor and the army's epidemic prevention and water supply ministry let everyone pay it back.
Not counting. The Kwantung Army's largest secret warehouse in Manchuria, where a large amount of supplies were stored in preparation for the Japanese-Soviet war one day, was also lost.
Then, regardless of his own strength, he provoked a conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union in Nomenhan without authorization, insisting on coming to the door to get beaten. As a result, he received a fat beating and a swollen face. These two incidents happened one after another.
This major incident led to the eventual resignation of General Ueda Kenkichi.
Little did they know that in fact at least half of the trouble behind all this was caused by two people. One was the resolute Northern Movement faction in front of him who had always advocated the expansion of the war against the Soviet Union. He caused trouble in Nomonhan but did not care.
Lieutenant Colonel Hattori Takushiro, Chief of the Operations Staff of the Kwantung Army, wiped his ass, causing the commander and chief of staff of the Kwantung Army to take the blame for him.
The other one was the senior combat staff officer of the Kwantung Army, who was later known as the scourge of senior Japanese military officers. After the defeat in the Battle of Nomonhan, he was kicked out by General Umezu Yoshijiro and served as a member of the 11th Army Headquarters. He was known to be brave enough to control the world.
A political message that pokes a hole.
One of these two people is the chief operational staff officer of the Kwantung Army. Most of the Kwantung Army's plans to suppress the anti-Manchu armed forces that are now confronting it came from his hands. As a result, several encirclement and suppression campaigns failed, and General Ueda Kenkichi died.
Bad luck, half a lifetime of honor is ruined.
Another one, regardless of his position as a senior combat staff officer of the Kwantung Army, boldly issued the "Outline for Handling the Manchu-Soviet Border" behind the Kwantung Army's headquarters, single-handedly provoked it, and persisted in expanding the Nomon Han
battle.
It can be said that General Ueda Kenkichi was unlucky because of these two people. As a result, the Battle of Nomonhan was only halfway through, and he was forced to resign. But these two guys had nothing to do. One was just transferred to the battlefield of Kanaichina.
A member of the military headquarters, one was even regarded as a right-hand man by his successor, General Yoshijiro Umezu.
This ending makes Fujiji Yasui, an old man of the Kwantung Army, very clear about the whole incident. Isn’t it a sigh of relief? Can the guy in front of me, who is highly valued by two commanders of the Kwantung Army, be able to complete and achieve what General Umezu Yoshijiro wants?
What result do you want? No matter how you look at it, Toji Yasui thinks it’s impossible.
Although he reluctantly agreed to this guy's request, Lieutenant General Ani Toji was secretly wary of this brazen guy. Lieutenant General Ani Toji, who was about to be promoted and had a bright future, did not want to be tricked by these two guys again.
The almost half-dead Komatsubara Taro made the same mistake.
Hattori Takushiro doesn't care about Yasui Toji's attitude. In his opinion, as long as his goal is achieved, it doesn't matter whether the executor is willing or not. The key is as long as his goal is achieved.
.
However, the search result of the Second Cavalry Regiment disappointed him. After three days of searching, there was not even a ghost within fifty kilometers. Nothing was found. On the contrary, after several days of tossing, during the day
The 2nd Cavalry Regiment couldn't stand patrolling within a fifty-kilometer radius around the main body of the division all day long.
Although fifty kilometers is only a distance that a car can run for an hour, it is very physically demanding for a war horse. What's more, this fifty kilometers is only a straight line distance, but the terrain is not set according to the straight line distance. After a few days
, the Second Cavalry Regiment was tortured because the men and horses were exhausted, and there were many complaints. Not only the men couldn't bear it, but even the horses couldn't bear it.
Three days later, whether Takushiro Hattori was willing or not, Toji Yasui faced the fact that the 2nd Cavalry Regiment was almost exhausted and decisively ordered to terminate what he considered to be a futile move.
Toji Yasui not only terminated the 50-kilometer search distance of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, but also compressed the original 30 kilometers to 20 kilometers in a straight line to restore the vitality of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment as soon as possible. As for whether Hattori Takushiro is happy or not
He was so happy that Anjing Tengji couldn't care less about it.
After learning that Yasui Toji had terminated his request that he had reluctantly agreed to before, Hattori Takushiro was so angry that he hated him to death and even had a big quarrel with Yasui Toji, but he could not change the reality.
Toji Yasui, who was also very angry at his almost rude attitude, said coldly: "I am the commander of the second division. How the second division fights, it is not your turn to have resigned."
After the Kwantung Army's director of combat staff said this, he stopped talking to him.
After Toji Yasui refused to discuss with him, the de facto imperial envoy who held the Sword of Shokata awarded by General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army, he terminated the plan he proposed. Hattori Takushiro, who was very angry, could only point at Yasui Toji's nose.
Apart from scolding him for being short-sighted, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was the majestic lieutenant general in charge of the division, and he was just a small lieutenant general.
But being angry is angry, but both Ani Fujiji and everyone in the Second Division have to admire this guy for being thick-skinned. Although after the quarrel, everyone in the Second Division, including Ani Fujiji, was very angry with him.
The superior's attitude was not good, it could even be said to be polite and indifferent, but this guy just refused to move and stayed at the Second Division Headquarters.
Although Toji Yasui terminated Hattori Takushiro's plan, it did not mean that he gave up on frontal attacks. Even at the height of his quarrel with Hattori Takushiro, his frontal attack intensity did not relax even slightly. Even the intensity of the attack
As the war progresses, the trend continues to increase.
The performance of the Second Division under him was also strong enough. Its skilled techniques and tactics under the cover of ground and air fire, extremely skilled infantry and artillery combined tactics, and even excellent individual combat qualities brought Liu Changshun a great influence.
Increasing pressure and casualties.
Faced with the rising number of casualties, after three days of resistance, Liu Changshun could not sit still. If this number of casualties continued, it would not take a few days for his second brigade to be reduced to ashes of casualties.
After Guo Bingxun rejected another request for reinforcements or withdrawal of reinforcements, Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming were speechless in the second brigade headquarters, smoking cigarettes in frustration. Ma Chunsheng, chief of staff of the second brigade, was still at the front line at this time.
The war supervisor has not returned yet, and only Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming are left in the headquarters.
After a long silence, Liu Changshun stood up and dusted himself away from the dust kicked up by the Japanese shells that hit his headquarters, and said to Wang Xiaoming, who was obviously bored: "Old Wang, what do you think the political commissar and chief of staff think?
Even if we are not allowed to retreat, we are not allowed to send reinforcements up. We are left to fight hard in this Mapingchuan area."
"If the fight continues like this, our Second Brigade will be exhausted in less than two days. Doesn't he know that the Japanese army we are facing is not a regiment, let alone a brigade, but an entire division and four regiments.
We are at an absolute disadvantage regardless of our military strength or firepower."
"Listen, the bombs and artillery shells falling on our heads haven't stopped since the Japanese army launched their attack, and it's almost dusk now. On this day, it's enough to have bombs falling around our headquarters, which is relatively well-concealed.
There are more than a hundred rounds, wouldn’t there be more in this forward position?”
"There are no mountains here, and there are no natural barriers other than this long hill. When Wang Guangyu blocked the 24th Division here a few days ago, didn't he withdraw with a false shot? Why?
Do we have to fight hard here? When the commander was here, we never fought such a breathless battle."
