Ida failed to complete the task, and returned to Changjiang dejectedly to report to Sawada Shigeru. He handed the remaining half of the pack of Dato cigarettes to Sawada Shigeru's adjutant, and said with a sad face: "Your Excellency, those barbarians are getting more and more excessive, Inoue is nothing but If you look at a Chinese woman one more time, she will be hung up and whipped. Your Excellency, if things continue like this, the Chinese people will take advantage of them. I'm afraid, I'm afraid."
When he said these words, Sawada's adjutant was counting the remaining cigarettes in his bag. The Osaka Division had lost supplies to come to the rescue. All the living supplies needed now came from credit, and a lot of debt had already been signed. This pack of cigarettes is also one of the items on credit. It is a special consumable item. Only officers above the level of brigade commander are eligible to enjoy it. Ida was able to get a pack today for public relations purposes, but he returned empty-handed. Even if the cigarettes were wasted in vain, the adjutant counted the cigarettes, just calculating the loss this time.
What Ida said, Sawada Shigeru naturally knew that many people in the Osaka Division thought that the people they were dealing with were really local mountain people, but he knew that they were definitely the elite of the cadet army. He regretted that he had done so in order to fight Yamamoto Go. The battle of spirits at 16 o'clock put the Osaka Division in this dangerous situation. However, who would have thought that the Xuebing Army's control over Hainan was so complete that they could not break up the integration of Hainan's military and civilians. Chances are, the Osaka Division is really not good at fighting. The soldiers of this division are too obsessed with peace (actually they are greedy for life and fear of death), which leads to their defeat in every battle. Ouyang Yun has obviously discovered this characteristic of the Osaka Division, and then takes decisive action. At once, he pinched the two softest things on the Osaka Division, and then he was fine. His life was held in the hands of the Xuebing Army. Naturally, they could do whatever they wanted. After seeing this through, Sawada Shigeru's The idea is quite noble. In order to help the empire preserve the Osaka Division, it doesn't matter if I just endure the humiliation and suffer a little grievance. Moreover, as long as the Osaka Division can maintain its military presence in Hainan, then once the empire still has its presence in Fujian, If a breakthrough is made in the direction of Guangzhou and Hainan is encircled, the value of the Osaka Division will be immediately reflected.
However, Sawada Shigeru underestimated the Xuebing Army and overestimated the Japanese Army. The Japanese Army had always maintained the establishment of the South China Front Army, and retained at least three divisions of elite armed forces to stay in Zhejiang. However, even Matsui Iwane The veteran general personally led the army, but they were unable to open up the situation. Instead, they were harassed by the guerrilla tactics of the Xuebing Army and were dizzy and exhausted.
Sawada Shigeru's face was gloomy, and the light in his one eye flickered uncertainly. The Chief of Staff Okushima Kataki next to him saw him and stepped forward and said: "Ida-kun, you go down first. Since the mountain said that Shen Gen'er will contact you when he comes back, then Just wait quietly for the news."
"Hai." Ida bowed to the two of them and then stepped back.
After he left, Okushima said to Sawada Shigeru: "Your Excellency, if you really can't do it, ask the military for help. After all, we are just a lone army. Once the student army gathers a large number of troops, then we will definitely not be an opponent."
Sawada Shigeru shook his head: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but, if the Guards Division had not been attacked, perhaps through the mediation of Minister Sakagaki, we would have been able to withdraw completely, but now, Okushima, Don't you think it's strange why the Xuebing Army can always predict and dispatch fighter planes to attack our fleet at just the right time? Think about it, when we leave Hainan, we can only take ships, but then, we have already sent the Navy Minister We are so offended, and we are on the front line of the army and navy operations. Do you still expect Mr. Yamamoto to provide a powerful escort fleet for our retreat? Although I don’t know what Ouyang Yun’s intentions are for us, but I can What is certain is that if we evacuate now, we will probably be even worse than we are now. Okushima, we have not worked together for a long time, but you also know that I am a person who cares about the situation. For the nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Osaka Division, we Just endure the humiliation and persevere for a while longer.”
"But the supplies are out of supply. If the base camp doesn't provide us with supplies, I'm afraid, I'm afraid we will collapse without a fight."
"Continue to pay credit to the Chinese. You also know the situation of the army. As long as the Xuebing Army dispatches one division, it is estimated that we can all be wiped out. However, the single hero has been holding back for a long time. He must have received some instructions from Ouyang Yun. What are you planning? But what else is worth planning for our Osaka Division? This time you personally go out and talk to the Chinese people. You must, you must lend another ten tons of rice on credit to rescue the emergency. In addition, pass on the order. From tomorrow on, everyone The supply of military rations has been cut in half, and officers are no exception."
Okushima let out a long sigh and said, "That's all."
Okushima packed his bags and was preparing to go to Qifang Town to discuss the matter with representatives of the Xuebing Army the next day. That night, the Osaka Division finally received a telegram from Japan. The Japanese communications troops who received the radio signal had just noticed this. It was a telegram from Japan. He seemed so happy. But when he deciphered the content, he cursed repeatedly and looked dejected.
The telegram was sent by the United Fleet to Sawada Shigeru in the name of Yamamoto. After more than two weeks of rescue by the most brilliant doctors of the Japanese Navy, Koizumi Minichiro was finally pulled back from the road to hell, although he would become a Lame, and about to lose the basic functions of a man, but he survived after all. Yamamoto was overjoyed, and immediately put down other things at hand and rushed over to visit. What moved the old devil extremely was, Koizumi's first words when he saw him , actually asking if Seiichiro Kuroda was used to smuggle electronic components to the Xuebing Army,
The raid by Jiang Yonggang and others not only severely damaged the Kaga, but also made Yamamoto Isoroku aware of various deficiencies in the active service system of the combined fleet. During this time, he was busy reorganizing the army, and he also had to pay attention to the mission that Koizumi was originally responsible for. In the development of several cutting-edge weapons, we also had to exchange opinions with the military bosses on the phone to persuade them to agree to launch a general attack on the cadet army. How could we have time to pay attention to such trivial matters? Naturally, Kuroda Seiichiro and others were completely forgotten.
Unexpectedly, Koizumi would care about this matter just after he woke up. Yamamoto was moved but also felt sad at the same time. He said angrily: "Your task now is to recover from your injuries. Only by recovering your health can you better serve the empire. I will arrange for others to do those things." Made.”
This attack was a big blow to Koizumi. As a time traveler, he knew the history of Japan's World War II and knew that in the real history, the Chinese never appeared in Japan, but now, they have all come to the Navy's home base. , and what does this mean? It means that Ouyang Yun has completed the process of transformation from a little butterfly to a hurricane, which makes him increasingly feel the urgency of developing technology.
He didn't know yet that he had lost his basic ability as a man, so although half of his legs were missing and his body was badly injured, he was still mentally normal. He thanked Yamamoto for his concern and emphasized again those electronic components. importance to Japan, and because of his persistence, Yamamoto asked Soma to bring Kuroda to Koizumi's ward and decided to give priority to this matter.
