No wonder Okushima had such a strong reaction. When preparing for the Hainan Campaign, no one expected that it would eventually turn into that situation. Not even Yamamoto Isoroku, Sakagaki Seishiro, or Sawada Shigeru. The hand of the Xuebing Army will be stretched so long, and the Xuebing Army will manage Hainan so firmly. Therefore, the Osaka Division did not carry large weapons such as heavy artillery when it went into battle. One of its artillery regiments was equipped with 75mm mountain cannons. I originally thought that the mountain artillery was enough, but when the combined fleet withdrew and the main force of the Fifth Army showed up, the Japs in the Osaka Division were dumbfounded. Look at the black muzzle on the opposite side, which is as thick as a bowl of sea, and then look at their own , the diameter is only half that of others, just like two men standing side by side peeing, one of them originally thought that his words were majestic enough, but when he turned around and saw that they were only half as thick as others, in an instant, his face turned red with embarrassment, what? The man's self-esteem and self-confidence suddenly rushed out,
Artillery is always the most arrogant in an army, but ever since it was discovered that the artillery of the Cadet Army was all heavy artillery, the artillery of the Osaka Division's regiment no longer had the momentum of the past, and each of them seemed to be withered and droopy. It's like I haven't eaten in three days,
However, even so, in the minds of officers such as Sawada Shigeru and Okushima, the artillery of this regiment is still the most important to them. The soldiers below may dare to do anything in order to survive, but Sawada Shigeru and others cannot. Since Sawada Shigeru knew After understanding the true situation of our unit, a corner of his heart hid this thought: If it really doesn't work, he will fight to the death with the Xuebing Army. The artillery regiment is the only weapon he can achieve this goal. With this The artillery of a regiment was not afraid even if it encountered an air attack. Shigeru Sawada was not afraid. Changjiang was too close to Baisha. At that time, he only had to let the artillery fire recklessly, and he would be able to inflict heavy damage on the student army.
The Artillery Regiment is undoubtedly the only sharp tooth left in the mouth of the fierce dog of the Osaka Division. Sawada Shigeru hid it. It was originally regarded as the last bit of protection, but now it has to be pulled out.
When Shan Renxiong, Chang Geng and Shen Gener discussed this possibility, they all agreed that there was little hope. The Japanese were not fools. If they lost their only cannon, they would really become lambs to be slaughtered and could only resign themselves to their fate. However, Shan Renxiong insisted on letting the Japanese use the cannon as collateral, but he wanted Okushima to retreat in the face of difficulties, and he did not dare to ask Shen Gener and the others to help smuggle electrical components.
Gangcun and the others made great efforts to finally wake up Okushima. After the little devil woke up, he shouted directly to Shen Gen'er: "Shen Sang, you are asking for the lifeblood of our Osaka division. I'm sorry, we really can't agree. .”
Shen Gen'er looked indifferent to Yoko: "I'm sorry, our leader told us that if there are no cannons in the collateral, we will keep the food for ourselves."
Okushima's face turned green and white, and he had the urge to kill in his heart. Of course, as a division-level chief of staff, he also knew what would happen if he really wanted to do this. "He who knows the current affairs is a hero. I'd better go back and report to the commander first." He thought in his heart and said: "Chen Sang, there is no room for negotiation at all."
"We can only wait for our leader to come back and make a decision."
"Okay, excuse me for disturbing you." After Okushima said this, he glanced at Okamura and others, then walked out.
Looking at his back, Shen Gen'er smiled and suddenly said: "Okushima-kun, do you know the way? Don't run into the Xuebing Army headquarters."
Okushima stopped immediately, then turned to Shen Gen'er and said, "Shen Sang, please send someone to take us out."
"Okay, but there will be a fee." This time it was Oyama who answered, and Oyama continued: "Chief of Staff Okushima, I like your pistol very much, so I'll use it to pay for the toll."
"Ba Ge, you really go too far to deceive others." Tanaka said in a low voice,
Okamura and others knew that he meant this to Okushima, and they all looked at him with contempt in their eyes.
Okushima was still calm and said, "Okay, just follow what Oyama-san said."
During the first meeting, Shen Gen'er completely destroyed Okushima's momentum and established a strong aura. Therefore, during the second negotiation, he pushed even further and overwhelmed Okushima to death in terms of momentum. dead,
The next day, Ouyang Yun responded to Shan Renxiong's report about the Osaka Division's purchase of electronic components. After discussing with Ji Xingwen and others, he felt that since the Japanese could purchase these things from the Americans, then learn from There is no need for Bingjun to hide his secrets from them. Of course, the second generation will definitely not be sold to them. The first generation will also have to be sold at a "smuggling" price. As for the payment method, Ouyang Yun let Shan Renxiong and the others think of it themselves. If the method really doesn't work, you can consider repaying the loan with work. Generally speaking, the educational level of the Japanese is higher than that of the Chinese. The Japanese soldiers of the Osaka Division are not good at fighting, but there are definitely some skilled workers among them who can pass the screening. Find these people and bring them to the factory first to use them. Aren't there several factories in Hainan that are short of technicians? Maybe they can find suitable ones in the Osaka Division.
Okushima returned to the Hainan Land Command located in the south of Changjiang City. He was exhausted physically and mentally. It was just that he failed to complete the task assigned by Sawada Shigeru. He actually suffered such humiliation. He could still endure all this, so he What is unacceptable is the performance of Okamura and others. They actually dared to betray him as the chief of staff. If you think about it, the cohesion of the entire Osaka Division is really worrying. It is estimated that as soon as the gunshot was fired, the command was dispersed. Sawada was quite understanding of Okushima's return empty-handed. After listening to Okushima's report and learning that Baisha City had become an "ocean" where the student army gathered, Lang Yun, the indigenous leader, even It was proposed that they use the only cannon that could still hold up the table as collateral in exchange for food. He said nothing for a long time.
Seeing Sawada speechless, Okushima said: "Sir, the Osaka Division is really not a place for people to stay. I, I strongly request to be transferred back to the country, otherwise, I will go crazy in a short time."
"Okushima-kun, you want to be a deserter." Sawada finally spoke, and he slapped a big hat on Okushima.
Okushima cried sadly: "Your Excellency, I am not afraid of death, but this humiliation is really shocking. I am afraid that if I stay here for a long time, I will be like those Osaka soldiers and completely lose their fighting spirit."
"You will not lose your fighting spirit. As long as you really want to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, Okushima, don't you think? We are actually fighting, but in a weird way. To save the Osaka Division and maintain our presence in Qiongnan, we Even if we win, let's give them the cannon. However, in addition to food, we also need a certain amount of electronic components. As long as we have this batch of electronic components and fulfill Yamamoto Isoroku's instructions, our situation will be There will be fundamental changes, Okushima, just keep fighting."
