Yang Zhen's estimate was correct. The plane that Zetian Shigeru was riding on was shot down. The previous commander of the Fourth Division was accompanied by an explosion on his plane. Even the cremation was omitted. It can be said that his body was completely gone.
This scene indeed completely broke the last psychological defense line of the Japanese defenders in Jiamusi.
Major Kitano Takatsu, no, is now Lieutenant Colonel Kitano. [.Com text] The last time Yang Zhen invaded Jiamusi, this guy relied on his gang of traders. Although he lost almost the entire Jiamusi, he was also forced to close several interconnected areas in the military camp.
Make the final resistance among the firepower points.
When Yang Zhen attacked Jiamusi, he did not attack Jiamusi, but just to mobilize the main force of the Japanese army. After achieving his goal, he did not want to make too many unnecessary sacrifices due to the lack of large-caliber direct-aiming artillery, and evacuated voluntarily. However, he did not expect that this would almost be accomplished.
He lost a completely clean guy in his defensive zone.
Although he almost lost all the Japanese and puppet officials in Jiamusi last time, and also caused the commander of the Kwantung Army's Fifth Army, Kenji Doihara, who was in the city at the time, to escape in an unusually embarrassed manner. But after all, with an absolutely inferior force, he was able to defend the city.
The last position was reached without losing it.
With the powerful family activities behind him and the operation of his colleagues and business partners, this guy who should have been severely punished by military law for leaving his post without authorization was promoted to lieutenant colonel because of such merit.
He was promoted to senior staff officer in charge of military conduct and conduct of the Fourth Division when he was not on the battlefield.
It's just that his position seems to be of a good level, but the job is very simple. He is only responsible for the daily maintenance of Jiamusi's city defenses and the military discipline of the Fourth Division. As for other things, Zetian Shigeru would not dare to let it go under any circumstances.
He was responsible because Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru knew his abilities too well.
Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru has long seen that the reason why Kitano Takatsu was able to hold the last fortification was not because he was good at fighting, but because this guy was very lucky and his opponent took the initiative to withdraw. Otherwise, he would have been beaten at that time.
He suffered a nervous breakdown, and it would be damned if he could hold on.
Moreover, Sawada Shigeru is willing to bet that it was only when he was surrounded and had no way out that he forced this guy who had eyes for money and recognized nothing but money to fight. If it were in a field battle, maybe this guy would
Will be the first to slip away, just like he did in Ning'an.
In the eyes of Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, who was extremely dissatisfied with him, this guy not only lost almost the entire city, but also lost most of the remaining troops with strong fortifications to rely on. He was not ordered to commit seppuku.
The emperor's apology is already very tolerant. As for promotion, don't even think about it.
But he couldn't stand the fact that he had a good father and a wealthy family. He rejected his promotion report, but he went directly to the Tokyo base camp and issued the promotion order.
If Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru hadn't firmly opposed it, I'm afraid this guy would have been directly designated by the Tokyo Base Camp as the captain of the 4th Search Regiment after the 4th Cavalry Regiment adjusted its organization. However, under the strong pressure of the Tokyo Base Camp, Ze
Even if Tian Mao doesn't want to, he can only find a position for this guy who looks prominent but actually has no real power and can't affect the army.
After some consideration, Sawada Shigeru placed this guy in the vacant position of the senior staff officer of the Lieutenant Colonel in charge of military conduct and discipline. However, this combat staff officer was a temporary addition, and there was someone else who was actually the senior staff officer in charge of combat operations. He was promoted to the rank of No. 3.
The title of senior staff officer of the Fourth Division is just that.
He was not even given the position of Chief Supervisory Staff, who was also known as the number one errand in the Japanese army. Although his current military rank was one level higher than that of Chief Supervisory Staff, he was not transferred to the senior officer in charge of operations in the division as usual.
The combat staff, or the deputy commander of a certain regiment. Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru is really worried about this guy who is very popular in this business but is a waste in the war.
But at this time, this guy who had taken great pains to find a suitable position for Shigeru Sawada, but because the officers of the division headquarters were dead and injured, and because he had the highest military rank, was temporarily pushed to the command position. He was sitting on weekdays.
He was in Sawada Shigeru's office, which he never dared to set foot in. He grabbed his hair in pain, and was filled with grief and anger for his own experience: "Why am I so unlucky, why is it me again."
"It's not fair. Others stay in big cities, and I stay in big cities. Why do nothing happen when others stay in big cities? How come it's my turn to be stuck at home and beaten twice in a row. I must be damned with this guy.
Cities are naturally prone to crime. Otherwise, how could I be so unlucky as to be blocked in one place and beaten twice in a row?"
I complained for a long time, but still couldn't think of a way to escape. Kitano Takatsu walked to the window. Although he knew there was little hope, he still raised his binoculars and tried to find a way out for himself. But he didn't know that this was the case.
However, I was shocked by the new discovery I observed.
When he saw the cannons with diameters of at least 100 millimeters appearing in the telescope, Lieutenant Colonel Kitano Takatsu almost had a heart attack. His first thought was not to figure out how to face it, but to think about how to face it this time.
It's really about to end.
The building under him is just an ordinary office building, no matter how solid it is. This is at best an office building that is stronger than ordinary buildings and has a certain ability to withstand blows.
It can withstand a few rounds of not-so-powerful 75mm mountain artillery shells. There is no problem. After all, it is an office of a military agency. But whether it can withstand a direct hit from a 100mm artillery, Lieutenant Colonel Kitano Takatsu
But I don't have the confidence.
He clearly saw the scene where the plane the division commander was riding in was shot down just now. Although he didn't quite believe in the promise of the division commander to bring in reinforcements, it was still a hope after all, wasn't it? But now the division commander has become
After eating roast chicken, the last glimmer of hope was shattered when the plane carrying His Excellency the division exploded.
Now Kitano Takatsu simply didn't know what to do. They had heavy artillery. Although he had a solid building to rely on, the power of this 100mm artillery was not something that ordinary buildings could withstand.
What I have on hand now is less than the strength of two squadrons. This includes all engineers, baggage troops, all staff officers in the division and regiment headquarters, cooks, grooms and other random people. That's it.
With a little force, how long can we hold on if we lose these two buildings as our last hiding places?
As for running, seeing that there were people wearing the opponent's military uniforms everywhere outside the division headquarters, which was almost completely surrounded, he shook his head and didn't even dare to think about it.
Now Kitano Takatsu hates his current military rank very much. How he wishes he could become a small second lieutenant now. He even regrets it. Why did he get such a rank when he had nothing to eat?
Errands on the battlefield. If I still had soldiers, I would definitely not be trapped in the damn city of Jiamusi now.
Just when Lieutenant Colonel Kitano Takatsu, who was almost helpless in the face of the current situation, was complaining bitterly about himself, the appearance of a person made him feel unusually happy.
However, this guy was not only a professionally trained Japanese officer, but also a very qualified businessman. After calming down, he immediately understood that the purpose of meeting him was definitely not simple. This guy was not accompanying his Hattori
Did the Lieutenant Colonel go to the front line of Lianjiangkou, Major General Kobayashi? And was he broken into pieces along with Kobayashi's detachment? How could he appear in the besieged and impenetrable 4th Division headquarters?
After hesitating for a long time, and looking at the black muzzles of the large-caliber artillery pointed at him outside the window, as well as the pale faces of his subordinates after seeing the arrival of these artillery pieces, Kitano Takatsu decided to meet his former disciple. Now
He is an Army colleague and a capable partner in the business world.
When the visitor was brought in front of him, he saw that the military rank and medals on the military uniform he was wearing had been removed, and he was not wearing the saber that was the symbol of the Japanese army. He knew this guy very well, and he immediately understood this.
Kitano Takatsu, who had come here because of the guy's intention, did not show the enthusiasm he had when the two met before, and his attitude was much colder.
"Nomura Iwa, you are dressed like this, you are not a prisoner of those anti-Manchurian armed forces and you came back to persuade me to surrender? If so, I can answer you now, the empire only has soldiers who died in battle, and they did not surrender and live quietly.
A soldier. If you really have this idea, I advise you to go back. For the sake of you and I growing up together, don't wait for me to impose military sanctions on you."
Regarding Kitano Takatsu's cold attitude. After he was captured, Chen Long, who had already opened the mouths of other captured Japanese soldiers and learned about this guy's profound background, said when he was interrogated alone that as long as he could resist at an appropriate time in the future,
If you work together, you can release him and help him conceal his experience of being captured.
After hearing Chen Long's promise, the Japanese captain named Nomura Iwa, who decided to serve for him on the spot without even thinking about it, sat down opposite Kitano Takatsu and said with a nonchalant smile: "
Kitano-kun, don’t do those hypocritical and useless things in front of me. Who among us doesn’t understand the other? You should just go ahead and fool those simple-minded guys in the Second Division with your words.”
"Kitano-kun, if you want to kill me, why wait until now? I know better than you how the empire treats captured imperial soldiers. If the commander here changes to someone else, I won't dare to come back. Because
Anyone else would have forced me to commit seppuku to apologize to the emperor. Didn’t all the captured officers who were exchanged after the Battle of Nomonhan enjoy this treatment?"
"But to be honest, if you hadn't been here today, I really wouldn't have come back. It's precisely because of you and I who grew up together that I came here. Because I don't want to see my good buddy.
He died in this desolate northern Manchuria, and his bones cannot be returned to his hometown. Not to mention that such a huge family property is still cheap for those wild beasts."
Nomura Iwa really didn't lie in front of Chen Long. As friends with similar family backgrounds and having grown up together, he knew Kitano Takatsu very well. The first words didn't matter, but the last sentence really poked at Kitano Takatsu.
On the weak side.
Seeing Kitano Takatsu's face becoming even paler after hearing what he said, Nomura Iwa, who knew what he had said, smiled and said: "Kitano-kun, don't forget what was the original intention of people like you and me to join the army in the first place? Don't
Talking to me about those bullshit about being loyal to the emperor, you and I did not work hard for several years to get out of the Army Academy just for those empty words."
"Compared to those children of military officer families who are influenced by their family background, and those who come from poor backgrounds who want to get ahead, our joining the army is not only forced by our elders to receive training, but it is actually an expression of our family's support for the military.
It’s just a statement.”
"You and I both know in our hearts that we are actually pawns used by the family to win over the military. In some ways, we are just abandoned pieces. You and I were kicked out by the family to join the army, but we are just behind our backs.
The family wants to establish a better relationship with the military so that they can gain more shares in military production and military engineering."
"We were kicked out to join the army, and we have actually lost the possibility of taking charge of the family. No one would believe that a soldier who only knows how to fight and kill can be a successful businessman. This kind of thing is very difficult in your family.
It’s not like China has learned lessons from past mistakes.”
"Isn't Kitano-kun's uncle the same as Kitano-kun? After he was sent out to join the army by his family, he soon lost the opportunity to take charge of the family's wealth. Although he has become an army major general now, a mere major general has nothing to do with your family.
Compared with the huge wealth, what is it?"
"After you arrived in Manchuria, Kitano-kun, you did whatever it took to make money. You even dragged the family of your division leader into trouble. Isn't it just to prove your ability to your family? I know that Kitano-kun's mother's family is also very powerful. Based on your mother's family,
Given his status, the chances of your father’s bastards outside inheriting the family property are not very high.”
"But Kitano-kun, don't forget that you have several brothers from the same mother. Not counting the bastards your father left outside, you only have an elder brother and three younger brothers from the same mother. These people are among your parents.
In my eyes, and even in the eyes of your family members, I am afraid that I am more popular than you."
"As far as I know, your brother, who graduated from Tokyo Imperial University, is probably the first heir in your parents' minds. If you hadn't had your uncle, the major general in the staff headquarters, speak for you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to succeed now.
has been excluded from the list."
"Kitano-kun, you and I grew up together. Although we are not real brothers, our relationship is closer than that of real brothers. To be blunt, there are probably more than one person in your family who wants you to die on the battlefield.
one."
"Otherwise, with your Kitano family's power in Japan's military and political circles, it would not be easy to transfer you back to the country. Why should you always be on this dangerous battlefield? With your family's current status in Japan, you still need to go to the battlefield to fight.
Will killing give the family a chance to get ahead?"
"Kitano-kun, look outside now. If you continue to fight, what will happen to you? They have even brought heavy artillery. How long can you resist? If you are killed, your family will shed tears for you.
There won’t be many people. On the contrary, I’m afraid there won’t be many people toasting to celebrate.”
"Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru has been killed, and Jiamusi has lost its last hope of relieving the siege. And now, except for the detachment of the 11th Division, the closest ones to Jiamusi are all troops of your Fourth Division. You are the Fourth Division
Coming from a regiment, do you think your colleagues can reach Jiamusi before your entire army is exhausted?"
"Now that you are dead in battle, what good will it do to you? It will only make your brothers breathe a sigh of relief because they have lost a competitive opponent. Kitano-kun, are you really so willing? Put down your weapons.
, although that Manchurian is our opponent, there is a saying that is quite good. As long as a person is alive, there will be hope. If you die, there will be nothing."
"Although you are a soldier, you are still a businessman at heart. Under the current situation, I think you should understand what kind of choice is the best choice for you Kitano-kun."
