Chapter 499: The Great War Begins! (2)
"Bee" is Li Suxian's code name. He has been using this code name for six years. The only person who knows his true identity is his.
Even if Seishiro Itagaki is now his boss, he has never seen Li Suxian, and he doesn't know who the "bee" is.
"Oda-kun, please don't forget that the bees only provide information. Regardless of the operation, I did not ask you to formulate this sneak attack. It was completely a failure caused by your own actions!" Seishiro Itagaki retaliated.
"Ichigaki, you are shirking responsibility!" Colonel Oda stood up angrily and pointed at Itagaki Seishiro and cursed angrily.
"I didn't shirk responsibility. I just told you this information, but I didn't let you attack. Moreover, you were too arrogant and didn't send anyone to investigate in advance, so you just sent troops to attack. Do you think our opponents are all idiots?" Seishiro Itagaki attacked disdainfully.
"Ichigaki, you..." Colonel Oda's face turned red when he was choked.
"Okay, enough, have you argued enough?" Chief of Staff Gonosuke Hashimoto shouted angrily and glared at the two of them angrily.
"Sorry, Your Excellency Chief of Staff!"
"Oda, this time Lianshanguan defeated, resulting in the annihilation of all the army brigades of the Great Japanese Empire and Ogawa Nakasa was captured. This is a shame. The first thing you two need to do is to eliminate this shame, instead of shirking responsibility for each other here!" Hashimoto Tonosuke said loudly.
"Chief of Staff, my subordinates did not shirk responsibility. I, Seishiro Itagaki, will not shirk responsibility. But if someone wants to push the mistake that should not be me on my head, I will not agree!" Seishiro Itagaki, "Someone will launch a sneak attack without discussing it with me. Do they know that they almost destroyed my plan. If the Dongzong detects the existence of the 'bee', then our losses will be even greater!"
"How effective is your bee? The information provided has caused us to lose a large group of elite soldiers. I think this bee has been instigated long ago, right?" Colonel Oda sneered.
"Oda-kun, the bee is a secret spy controlled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She has completed many tasks excellently and obtained a lot of valuable information for the Great Japanese Empire. Moreover, he has no relationship with the anti-Japanese armed forces in the Northeast, and no one knows his identity. How can he instigate him to rebel?" Seishiro Itagaki angrily scolded.
"Is that so why did our sneak attack fail? More than 500 people were sent into the pocket of the Chinese army?" Colonel Oda asked.
"Then I have to ask your Ogawa Nakasa. Since our opponents know that there is such a secret path, will they not be prepared for it? If you were their commander, would you let this secret path be ignored?" Seishiro Itagaki sneered.
"This..." Colonel Oda was speechless.
"Your 14th Division has been fighting for so many days. Although the goal is to attract the enemy to continue to increase troops, don't you think your opponent is unusual?" said Seishiro Itagaki. "They grew from thousands to tens of thousands. It took only half a year to lose tens of thousands of troops. This kind of record cannot be treated with ordinary enemies!"
"That's your incompetence!"
"Hmph!" This time, it offended the Kanto Army. Colonel Oda saw a pair of angry eyes and subconsciously shrank his head, "Itagaki, it's wrong for you to gain other people's ambitions and destroy your majesty like this?"
"I am just talking about an objective fact. I don't want to treat the current enemies in Shanghai. Although they are not as good as us in many aspects, their fighting will is not worse than us, and their weapons and equipment are at the same level as us. Of course, I mean individual combat weapons. They are inferior to those of heavy firepower, but their commanders are extraordinary. Grassroots officers are all officers or soldiers of the former Northeast Army and have certain practical experience. Therefore, I remind you that when facing the East Zong, you should put aside your attitude of looking down on each other and take it seriously. Otherwise, if you suffer a defeat, don't say that our intelligence department is incompetent!" Itagaki Seishiro reminded coldly.
"Ichigaki, are you serious?" said Tashi Ichiro Tashimi, chief of staff of the 9th Division, frowned.
Kenyoshi Ueda is still in Fengtian. Shortly after he completed the amputation surgery, he received treatment at the Manchu Railway Affiliated Hospital and took a break and recuperate. He also had the intention of confusing the East Zong. The commander of the Ninth Division was still in Fengtian. So how could the Ninth Division be away from Fengtian?
This summer attack, the actual commander of the 9th Division was Chief of Staff Major General Tashi Ichiro!
"General Taday, I have been secretly fighting with this Dongzong once. They are definitely not a mob. They are a very strict organization, an elite Chinese army. Although they are not as good as our Imperial Japanese Army, if they are given time and resources, it may become the biggest enemy of our Imperial Japanese Empire in Manchuria in the future!" Seishiro Itagaki said solemnly.
"According to Itagaki Kwan, this time we launched the summer bandit suppression plan and cannot completely eliminate this Dongzong?" Tadayan Wanichiro asked with some displeasure.
"Of course I can completely destroy them, but I wonder if General Tashiro had heard of a unit?" Seishiro Itagaki asked.
"Oh, what unit?"
"Ghost Force!" Seishiro Itagaki said slowly, "Colonel Oda, you must have heard of it, have you?"
Colonel Oda nodded slowly.
"This is why Ogawa Nakasa was captured after failure!" Seishiro Itagaki said, "Their opponent is the Ghost Force!"
"What, ghost troops!" As soon as Seishiro Itagaki said this, a buzzing sound suddenly in the conference room. Even the taciturn Muto Nobuyoshi's eyes opened slightly, and a terrifying light flashed.
"If it weren't for the ghost army, Ogawa Nakasa would not have been defeated so badly even if he failed. In fact, I have reminded you to be careful of the Chinese army in Lianshanguan, but you didn't take it seriously!" Seishiro Itagaki said to Colonel Oda.
"If you had told us that it was the ghost army, we would not have..." Colonel Oda said angrily.
"Actually, I'm not sure if the Ghost Force's troops are too mysterious. They fought with us many times and almost never suffered any losses. We were unable to capture or obtain any of them or bodies. So as an intelligence officer, I can't give you any information at will, right?" Seishiro Itagaki said.
"Then why do you know now?"
"From your communications and the combat records of the Sakura Special Team, I found that the hidden and anti-reconnaissance of this unit is not Chen's ability to track, and is very vigilant, very well-equipped, and everyone is equipped with long and short weapons. There are also cold weapons, and they can move freely with a weight of 20 kilograms, etc." Seishiro Itagaki, "Based on these news, I can judge that the ghost troops are the ones that are receiving the supplies of the Nanyang Chinese. Apart from this unit, I'm afraid no unit can sneak into our defense zone without us being discovered."
"Ichigaki, is your judgment a little late?" said Taday Anichiro.
"General Tashiro, I think it's the opposite!" Seishiro Itagaki smiled.
“Why?”
"Since the East Zong has sent the ghost troops to the south, their defense in the north is now the most empty, which is enough to prove that they have not discovered our plans yet!" said Seishiro Itagaki.
"Since you said that your opponent is smart, will they be unprepared?" asked Tashi Wanichiro.
"They will definitely be prepared, but according to our intelligence, the main force of the East Column is basically concentrated on the southern line. And didn't the 14th Division discover their artillery group?" Seishiro Itagaki asked Colonel Oda.
Colonel Oda nodded: "We did find that they had an elite artillery. Although the number and power of artillery were not as good as us, their shooting accuracy was not worse than ours, and they also had quite a certain degree of maneuverability.
"I heard that the commander of this artillery was originally a man named He Shili from the Northeast Army?"
"Yes, he is also a British Hong Kong native, mixed race, and his father, Ho Dong, has a very high status in Hong Kong, his family is very rich, and he was named a jazz by the British Empress. He also has experience studying in the French Artillery School. This time, he summoned the Chinese in Southeast Asia to enter Manchuria and his father was also provided with weapons and a large amount of Western medicine for the Manchu anti-Japanese armed forces!" said Seishiro Itagaki.
"Colonel Itagaki, this person's information needs to be collected!" Muto Nobuyoshi opened his eyes and said slowly to Itagaki Seishiro.
"His Excellency Commander Hai!" Itagaki Seishiro agreed respectfully.
"The defeat in Lianshanguan and the loss of a brigade of elite soldiers has already known the base camp. Lu Sui Araki sent a telegram. His Majesty the Emperor was very angry when he learned about this. The base camp was under great pressure. The domestic dissatisfaction with the policies we implemented in Manchuria. Therefore, we must show our achievements to block the mouths of those politicians. Do you understand? Everyone!" Muto Nobuyoshi said slowly.
"God of General, the defeat in Shanguan is just an accident. The Chinese people also said that victory or defeat is the military strategist. Success or failure is nothing. The one who laughs to the end is the winner!" said Taday Anichiro.
"Major General Taday said it well. The success or failure of a war is not determined by the victory or failure of one or two battles, but by the final result!" Muto Nobuyoshi said, "You guys, do you have the confidence to defeat our opponents and win the final victory!"
"Hayi!"
"Very good. Lianshanguan failed. I will explain to the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor. From now on, you don't have any psychological burden. Fight hard, beat hard, completely eliminate the East Zong, and use your achievements to prove that the Japanese Empire is invincible!" Muto said heavily.
"I will definitely live up to the entrusted entrusted by the General!" The generals stood up and said in unison.
"Very good, I'm waiting for your good news!" Muto Nobuyoshi said with a smile.
"Hayi!"
"Major General Taday, Colonel Itagaki, you two stay here, everyone else will act according to the combat plan!"
"Hayi!"
"Major General Tada and Commander Ueda Division will hand over the command of the 9th Division to you this time. This is an opportunity for you. If you fight this battle well, you will have one more star on your shoulders!" Muto Nobuyoshi said.
This made the Kanto Army Chief of Staff Tonosuke Hashimoto's eyes appear with envy after hearing this. This guy was really lucky. If Kenji Ueda hadn't been blown off by the North Korean, he wouldn't have taken the lead in this battle!
"Thank you for your cultivation!" Tadayani Ichiro said excitedly.
"You must also have this ability." Muto Nobuyoshi smiled faintly, "Colonel Itagaki, in terms of intelligence, you must support Ta Daijun more. You two cooperate sincerely to eliminate our enemies in one fell swoop!"
"Hayi, General!"
"Colonel Itagaki, I have seen your 'hive' plan, it's OK, but what I'm not sure about is that the little bee is reliable?" Muto Nobuyoshi asked.
"We have investigated this person's foundation, and there is no suspicion. In the past seven years, we have not stopped surveillance of him. He has no political background except for his business background. It can be said that he is innocent!" said Seishiro Itagaki.
"So this person is available?" Muto Nobuyoshi said.
"As of the moment, the information he provided is not true and valid!" said Seishiro Itagaki.
"What are you going to do next?" Muto Nobuyoshi asked.
"Send someone to contact him on his own initiative. Now he needs a team to cooperate with him, otherwise it will be difficult for him to convey it even if he gets information!" Seishiro Itagaki thought for a while and said.
"You have lost a lot of intelligence teams. If you send them again, if they are exposed, wouldn't this 'hive' plan be exposed?" Muto Nobuyoshi said.
"We have to try the dangers, but there is no security in intelligence work. Our opponents have strict control over radio stations. If there is no radio station, we can only send someone to contact him. Otherwise, we will not get even if there is intelligence!" Seishiro Itagaki.
"Who have you decided to send?" Muto Nobuyoshi asked.
"I want to call someone?" said Seishiro Itagaki.
"who?"
"The high-level master of General Doihara, the second lieutenant Tomoko Honma!"
"She is the heart of Doihara Jun. Are you sure he is willing to give it up?" Muto Nobuyoshi said in a slight moment.
"For the benefit of the empire, General Doihara will definitely be willing to do so." Seishiro Itagaki said seriously.
"Okay, if he agrees, I'm fine!" Muto Nobuyi nodded.
"Thank you, Commander!"
"Major General Tashi, when are you going to attack?" Muto Nobuyoshi turned to Tashi Wanichiro and asked.
"God General, tomorrow morning, you will hear the horn of the attack!" Tachiyo Wanichiro said loudly.
"Okay, I look forward to your return in triumph!" Muto Nobuyoshi smiled with satisfaction.
"Hayi!" (To be continued...
