Chapter 374
: Let go
Please, the war on the front line?
What does it mean?
Seiichi Kita was so scared that he started to fight. Iijima Ryu wanted to give up the ball. The battle just started, but Iijima Ryu said, "I don't do it anymore."
What is this?
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Kita Seiichi suddenly bounced off the chair, and rushed out without caring about his image. He saw that the adjutant of Iijima Ryo was opening his special car and was about to get into the car.
"Iijima-kun, you can't do this..."
"What else can I do? Wait for the trial of the military court? Or do I take me to prison and praise your greatness in the dark cell?" Joe Iijima was angry. It was said that honest people had a good temper. That was because they did not reach their bottom line. Once they were angry, they would be scarier than anyone else.
Iijima's questioning made Kita Sei stunned.
He didn't know how to comfort the respected Chief of Staff of the Kanto Army in front of him. He has worked diligently since he took office. Even when Umezu Mijiro's intention to leave, he showed the responsibility that a soldier should have. But in the end, Ryo Iijima was regarded as a scapegoat to bear the consequences for the Kanto Army's failure in Manchuria.
No matter how much Iijima Ryu would accept this, the anger in his heart was uncontrollable and he wanted to erupt. Only now did he realize that if there was no big victory, he would be the biggest scapegoat in the Kanto Army.
Behind Umezu Mijiro, the support of the Chateau warlords, Hideki Tojo has nothing to do with this.
For this reason, if Tojo Hideki wants to take office, he has to clean up the top leaders of the army. He cannot move the generals and marshals with high status, but he still has the right to mobilize some lieutenant general army commanders with deep influence.
The purpose is to shock those who have complaints about him, and to tell those who are waiting and watching should stand in a team and say that people can come and express allegiance to him. With those who support him, Hideki Tojo can make this position stable. Otherwise, in the political situation within Japan and the Prime Minister has no military power, no one will listen to him even during the Imperial Conference.
Therefore, since the war broke out, the prime minister who was born in politicians often did not take the position of prime minister for a long time.
The Navy was dissatisfied and rushed down.
The army was dissatisfied and rushed down.
Isn’t Konoe Fumiya announcing the dissolution of the cabinet in such a dilemma? Besides, the Konoe family has a very close relationship with the royal family and has Showa’s support, but if the army does not buy his war, he can’t continue to do this prime minister.
When Iijima got on the bus, he turned around and said a few words of warning to Kita Seiichi, but he was honest and did he use any advice to stimulate Kita Seiichi. Instead, his tone was a little soft: "Tojo-kun is a good general, but he is definitely not a good commander. Moreover, your behavior has caused huge losses to the empire. The empire's decisions must not be controlled by a few people with ulterior motives. General Kita, you are a soldier who has made contributions to the empire. I hope you don't go on a road of no return. In addition, you don't have to get angry about me when I return to Xinjing. The commander-in-chief of the front line was originally you, and it was you from beginning to end."
Kita Sei didn't answer because he was embarrassed and looked at him. Because Iishima had greed in his heart, he rushed to the front line to command the battle.
At this time, his greed was gone and his mood was extremely poor. He also knew that if he commanded the battle, there would inevitably be many irreparable losses. His opponent was Zeng Yiyang, a talent who proved his status as a famous general on the battlefield. He did not think that there was anything wrong with him leaving his command post.
"You can't decide some things, I'm just a chess piece." Kita Seiya's dissatisfaction was slightly reduced, and he gave such a meaningful farewell saying.
Watching Ao Iijima's car go far towards the airport, Kita Seiichi turned around and turned around but saw the staff members of the headquarters watching the fun. He immediately shouted angrily: "What are you looking at? Why don't you go back to your post?"
Iishima's sudden awakening caught Kita Seiichi off guard, but he had no choice. In short, Iishima would also understand that the matters on the Soviet side could be hidden for half of the time of Britain and the United States, but it would be impossible to hide them from a Japanese general, especially the Lieutenant General and Deputy Chief of Staff in the Kanto Army. Otherwise, Matsuoka Yoyou was waiting in Moscow to sign an alliance with Stalin, and the Kanto Army fought over border conflicts. Isn't this a joke about the Soviets?
Hideki Tojo's idea is even simpler. Since a cabinet formed by a politician cannot cope with the change in the war, instead of letting fighter jets be wasted by those politicians in hesitation, it is better to form a cabinet composed of soldiers to influence the empire's external expansion plan.
In Ishihara Kanir's mouth, there were constant strange words such as "Private Tojo" and "Idiot Chief" but there was no fool who could get into the Imperial Army University, no matter how many times this person took the exam.
Every year, the number of places recruited by the Mainland University is only fifty or sixty, and selected among hundreds of thousands of non-commissioned officers and officers is the elite. However, the talent of Tojo Hideki is far beyond the eclipse of the genius who have been shrouded in halos since his debut. When facing ordinary Japanese officers, Tojo Hideki is far beyond the military and political awareness.
Unfortunately, Hideki Tojo did not realize this, and his political ambitions kept motivating him to climb to a higher position.
From the commander of the Kanto Army's military police to the deputy chief of staff, along the way, the one who hindered Tojo Hideki's advance from his age was his ally. For this reason, he did not hesitate to unite his colleagues who were originally in the Kanto Army fortifications, and Seiichi Kita was such a person.
general!
In the Japanese military, no soldier will be unfaithful about this honor. After all, the promotion of a marshal is too difficult, and it is to reward soldiers who have made great contributions to the empire. In addition, the prince of the royal family can obtain this honor without military achievements and knowledge.
As for Kita Seiichi's achievements, unless he encourages Chiang Kai-shek to surrender, he will only have a glimpse of the marshal's dress in his dream. In broad daylight, he never had such boundless dreams.
He had something even more headache now. Ryo Iijima left. The old man's angry look made him accustomed to the iron-hearted heart of Kita Seiichi, who was also a little suspicious whether they were doing this was really right.
But soon, he was shocked by what happened suddenly on the battlefield, and he lost it or lost it.
It is easy to understand that the attack echelon of the 14th Division was lost. After all, Zeng Yiyang is not a fool but is very smart. It will definitely not be difficult to eat Zeng Yiyang's number one main force under him under his nose. So Ryo Iijima arranged the surprise soldier of the 27th Brigade. He was to guard against Zeng Yiyang's alertness and get rid of the 14th Division's rear move to suppress the troops. Once the traces of the main force of the 1st Column were found, the 27th Brigade immediately rushed forward along the railway line, cut off the passage of the 1st Column's retreat from Suihua to Tieshan, and forced Zeng Yiyang to fight to the decisive battle.
However, this requires a premise. Zeng Yiyang's right wing's defensive force was restrained, and the distance between the two wings was getting farther and farther away, the 27th Brigade finally deviated to the rear of the 1st Column and gave a fatal blow to the 1st Column.
But the idiot Tsukada Tora was still complacent about successfully climbing the river beach position. Don’t he know the impact of the disappearance of the 9th Column on the entire battle? Did Zeng Yiyang already grasp the code of the Imperial Army?
Or is it just a long-planned preparation?
Seiichi Kita was now in trouble. He was not proficient in strategy. In the past, he used to be gilded in the army, but it was just the word gilded. The route he took was the same as Kenji Doihara, which was intelligence work. Establishing a secret service agency and using gold bars to seduce senior generals who were frustrated in the *** *, and his task was even more difficult, and he dealt with Chongqing politicians who were more skilled than monkeys.
Often when the money is in hand, the other party looks smiling, but when the money is spent and sent to the other party's mansion, they often refuse to admit it. Turning against each other is faster than flipping a book. Sometimes, some secrets of the Japanese army will be intercepted by the other party because of their dealings with Chongqing. It is like a fan-headed man who opens his door to do business and meets a handsome handsome man who is determined to achieve this business, but in the end, not only is the business not completed, but he is also worried about being cheated of money and sex.
It was precisely because of the intelligence work between China and Japan that from the dominant advantage of the Japanese war situation to the fact that Seiichichi Kita accepted the suggestion of his old boss Seishiro Itagaki to take up a military post and temporarily leave the intelligence organization.
The idea of hiding from the limelight is much heavier than the idea of establishing military merits on the battlefield.
But he was pushed to the front desk at once and even had the power to command an army. In his heart, he was unsure.
Time passed by little by little, and the contact staff was still waiting for his reply message. Not every message needed to be replied to by Seichi Kita. However, Lieutenant General Tsukada Ota was of the same status as him. He also had to draw a telegram in etiquette, whether it was comfort or encouragement, in short, you should not be rude and act arrogantly, otherwise you would become provoking the other party and giving the other party a warning.
"General..."
When the Chief of Staff saw Kita Seiichi sitting chubby on the chair, he was really afraid that the division commander who was harmless was asleep on the chair, he couldn't help but remind him.
"Oh, go and draw a telegram to warn Lieutenant General Tsukata to cooperate with the main attack's 14th Division to advance slowly after exploring the situation. Don't worry about the 12th Division. The headquarters is already raising supplies to airdrop materials into the area where the 12th Division is trapped." Seiichi Kita woke up in shock. He was worried that the troops would suffer too much loss under his command. Another thing is that he did not have much confidence in defeating Zeng Yiyang.
During the three years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zeng Yiyang caused trouble to the Japanese army no longer the number of soldiers killed or the number of materials intercepted. It was an insurmountable mountain. Once it crossed, it would inevitably become the most dazzling general in the Japanese army.
Seiichi Kita was at least a little self-aware, knowing that he was a little short of tactical command, and was determined to use a stable play.
The telegram reached the 8th Division of Nakawa. Lieutenant General Tsukada looked at the telegram in his hand and said with contempt: "This coward Kita." After that, he got up and walked to the car and shouted to the chief of staff, saying, "The 5th Regiment opens the way, and the infantry runs forward..."
