Coincidentally, when Roland mentioned Kobayashi Yotao, the latter was telling Yamamoto Isoroku about things related to him.
After the Japanese Western Expedition Fleet began to officially use troops against Thailand (Thailand was actually called Siam before May 11, 1949, but for the sake of narrative convenience, it will be collectively referred to as Thailand in this article), Yamamoto Isoroku asked the combined fleet to
Ttech has strengthened its intelligence collection work on the five Southeast Asian countries and proposed the establishment of a Central-Southern Intelligence Section with the backbone of agents and spies who have penetrated Southeast Asian countries in advance to be responsible for the intelligence collection work of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
"Before the imperial army begins to attack Burma, I hope you can clarify the organization and equipment of the Northeast Expeditionary Force and the Cadet Expeditionary Force to help the headquarters formulate a detailed and feasible attack plan as soon as possible. Yamaguchi-kun, I have high hopes for you.
There are high hopes." On the day when the Central and Southern Intelligence Section was officially established, Yamamoto said to the Section Chief Yamaguchi Aoyama,
Having received the attention of Minister Yamamoto, Yamaguchi was flattered and did not dare to slack off at all. He made a request, hoping to get the help of Kobayashi Yotao, the minister to the Indochina Federation. This aroused Yamamoto's interest in Kobayashi, and this summons was born.
"...The French are currently splitting. One faction is headed by the current Governor-General Ambrose, who has gathered all the senior generals in the French army. What is certain is that they are the faction that advocates force against the imperial army, and they are in harmony with the cadet army.
Very recently, there was another faction headed by Roland, the current financial officer. Most of its members were civil servants and large plantation owners. I knew Roland relatively well. He inherited the will of the former governor Raffarin and had no objection to the imperial army entering Southeast Asia.
If the imperial army captures the French Indochina Federation in the future, I think they can use him to help us manage it. Your Excellency, the French have been away from the war for too long. Many of them are greedy for life and fear death. If it were not for the instigation of the Xuebing Army, they would definitely
Don't have the courage to challenge the military might of the Japanese Empire... Your Excellency, I think the best way to disarm the French is to assassinate the leaders of the main war factions such as Ang Bos and help Roland ascend to power. If Roland can ascend to power, I think we can even
Use them to defeat the Cadet Expeditionary Force."
Under Yamamoto's questioning, Kobayashi spoke endlessly about his views on attacking French Indochina. The focus was to use the French peace faction to attack the student expeditionary force to avoid the maximum loss of the Japanese army.
Yamamoto was very satisfied with what he heard. After listening, he said to him approvingly: "Very good. Mr. Xiaolin worked hard in Hanoi. Thank you for your hard work. It will take some time for the imperial army to attack French Indochina. Before that, just
It's up to you to completely disrupt the situation there, Soma."
Souma Masabumi said "Hai" and came over to ask, "Your Excellency, Commander, may I ask what your orders are?"
Yamamoto pointed at Kobayashi and said: "You will take Mr. Kobayashi to Haruichiro Mano later and ask him to allocate a team of special forces to Mr. Kobayashi to command. Mr. Kobayashi, let me give you some advice. If you want to sneak into Vietnam or Cambodia during this time,
, can be carried out by sea by speedboat.”
Xiao Lin quickly bowed respectfully and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, I will never let you down."
Yamamoto waved his hand and said with a smile: "Do your best. When Ouyang Yun arrives in Vietnam, there will definitely be a Wolf Fang special force accompanying him to protect him. You must beware of him sending Wolf Fang to protect Ang Bos and others."
"Hai."
"This is also a test for the young guys of our Xiongfeng Special Forces. Kamikaze vs. Wolf Fang. I am looking forward to their performance."
"Hai, Your Excellency, I will resign from my humble position first."
"Okay, I wish you success in your first battle."
"Thank you for your trust."
The Heroic Special Forces are the Japanese naval special forces established by Koizumi Minichiro in Nagasaki based on later special forces construction methods. Langya's assassination of Koizumi Minichiro in Nagasaki failed to kill him in the end, but caused him serious damage. I don’t know if it is because of the painful trauma of death that Koizumi Minichiro never forgets about becoming a man again, always thinking that he can regain his glory, so he came up with the name "Hongfeng Special Forces".
January 1, 1941, New Year’s Day,
At about three o'clock in the afternoon that day, Ouyang Yun, Guo Kui and others welcomed a group of French generals headed by Ambrose into the camp of the Bobie Expeditionary Force with smiles on their faces.
Angpos and others came to Bobie in the name of condolences to the students. It was the Gregorian New Year. As representatives of the local government, they came to Bobie to express condolences to the friendly troops. The reason could not be more legitimate.
During the Gregorian New Year, the Cadet Expeditionary Force has its own way of celebrating. The first is a dinner; the second is holding exercises to compete for prizes, mainly cigarettes, privately provided by the Commander-in-Chief.
Angpos and others carried out a surprise attack. The time they chose was a coincidence, which coincided with the climax of the exercise. As soon as they entered the military camp, they were attracted by the lively scene on the playground not far away.
Around the playground, there are rows of cadets sitting on the ground. In the center, two teams of fifty cadets are entangled fiercely in a huge muddy puddle, amidst the roar of cheers from the surrounding cadets. Climbing and rolling, fighting with all possible means, fighting for something,
Seeing that the students' attention was attracted by the fight in the mud puddle, the arrival of himself and others did not attract their attention at all. Angpos and others also became very interested in the fight, and after the greetings they stopped talking. He politely asked Ouyang Yun to have a closer look, but received no immediate response. Ang Bos said to Ouyang Yun in a joking tone: "Commander-in-chief, this should not involve your army's military secrets."
After the translator translated this sentence, Ouyang Yun smiled and said to Ang Bos: "It's just a game in the army. There is no secret. Since you generals insist on seeing it, let's go and see it."
As we got closer, we could clearly see the fight taking place in the mud puddle. We saw dozens of students fighting fiercely around a log about three meters long and about twenty centimeters in radius. Some of them specifically pulled their opponents into the muddy water, while others held on to the log and refused to let go. After watching it for about two minutes, Ang Bosi and others realized something. Yi Wen asked Guo Kui who was standing next to him: "General Guo, this The field competition tests the team's coordination ability and fighting will."
After the translator translated these words, Guo Kui looked at Yi Wen and praised: "General Yi Wen has a good eye, but one thing is missing: he also has the commanding ability of a commander."
After listening to what the translator said, Yi Wen turned his head and looked at the mud puddle more carefully, and suddenly realized: "Yes, the person standing at the outermost edge of each team is their respective commander." Then he clicked his tongue and praised: "What a wonderful training. The means, it seems, we really came to the right one this time."
This sentence was not translated because the translator was too busy, so Guo Kui did not hear the connotation in this sentence. Soldiers, professional sensitivity allows them to see this "military game" The French were immediately interested in the meaning contained in it, and they consulted their Chinese counterparts one after another. As a result, two translators were not enough.
This fight in the mud puddle started from the appearance of Ang Bosi and others, and it lasted for another twenty minutes before the winner was determined. The winner was the Second Mountain Division. When the division commanded one of the men in this competition, When the regiment leader named Huang Abao staggered to his target area dragging the log, amidst the cheers of the students of the Second Mountain Division, the French also smiled and applauded, Angbos turned his head and said to Ouyang Yun: "What a wonderful competition. The reputation of the Xuebing Army is well-deserved."
