Chapter 65 Muto's Ambition
(Today is the third update!)
A gust of wind and snow swept over, and more than a dozen of the bodies of the killed driver were dragged aside by the military gendarmes. Muto Nobuyoshi, who was sitting in the car, took a look at the rows of corpses placed outside the window of the car and snorted indifferently, "Manchurians just lack discipline. They know that they have to come out to make trouble when they are under martial law. They need whips and A bayonet!"
Ningji Okamura, who was sitting aside, smiled and said, "Your Excellency, our Kwantung Army has the responsibility of supervising Manchukuo, but I'm afraid it will take at least 20 years to build Manchuria into an imperial land!"
Muto Nobuyoshi smiled and said, "How many years has it been since the Qing War and the Russian War since the Meiji Restoration? I'm afraid that the military headquarters will not wait for 20 years. Today, the prosperity of the empire is the emperor [***] people exchanged it with blood. Our generation is old and has no ambition. The future of the empire in the future depends on you young people!"
"For the service of His Majesty the Emperor!" Okamura Ningji answered casually and found that it seemed disrespectful to sit and talk, but it was difficult to stand up in the car. Muto Nobuyoshi hurriedly stopped Okamura Ningci and said, "Are the divisions and brigade commanders who attended the meeting all here?"
Ningji Okamura hurriedly took over the file handed over by the adjutant Ono in the front row and looked over and said, "Sir, it's all here!"
Muto Nobuyoshi nodded with satisfaction. He was really afraid that Ningji Okamura was shouting the slogan of His Majesty the Emperor, so he would really stop and stand in the cold wind and shout on the board.
In the Lin Mansion in the western suburbs of Jinzhou, Muto Nobuyoshi quickly walked into the hall with a command knife in the salute of the gendarme. Adjutant Ono immediately took over Muto Nobuyoshi's coat and handed over a hard-top military hat for half a month. Muto Nobuyoshi, wearing a large number of medals and Dabao's belt on his chest, entered accompanied by Koiso Kuniaki and Okamura Ningji. In the conference room.
Ade with a commander! The whole lively venue was suddenly silent, and only the sound of breathing could be heard. Nobuyoshi Muto took off his military hat and put it on his right side. He looked around and said, "Bitamoto Zhengyouweimen! The son of Ozawa Itamoto, your father is a brave and fearless guy! Is he in good health?
When Banben Zhengyouweimen heard the commander's inquiry, he hurriedly got up and said, "It's okay! It's just that old injuries often recur, and there is a lack of special drugs!"
Muto Nobuyoshi nodded and said, "The laboratory directly under the headquarters is stationed in Jinzhou. You can go and have a look when you have time. They may have some special drugs from Europe, even morphine is more effective than that of the empire."
Nobuyoshi Muto turned around and looked at a bald-headed fat man in a very tight military uniform and said, "Xiyi, you are my old subordinate, Hirose Shousuke of the 10th Division, Matsuki Zhiliang of the 14th Division, and Pu Mu of the 16th Division! I believe everyone is familiar with me, an old man!"
The division commanders below nodded one after another, and the brigade commanders were looking forward to it. Many brigade commanders have just been promoted. They have also admired Nobuyoshi Muto, a general in the Taisho era, for a long time. Moreover, this imperial meeting and the military department have released news that Muto Shinyi will be promoted to marshal after the Battle of Rehe! This will be the supreme glory of the emperor's life!
Nobuyoshi Muto took off the medals on his chest one by one and put them on the table, sighing, "Guys! Don't you feel that something is missing on your chest? Scars are the glory of men, and medals are the glory of soldiers! Now this opportunity belongs to all of you here. Rehe is an unquestionable part of Manchuria. Its terrain is complex and steep, and there are also a large number of [***] garrisons. According to the information provided by the intelligence agencies, at least 100,000 [***] are stationed in Rehe, and there are the same number of [** *] The Nanjing Political Axe Central Army, which is stationed in Pingjin at any time, does not include the Nanjing Political Axe Central Army of the four divisions, especially the New First Division of the National Political Axe stationed in Chengde!"
When it comes to the new first division, the division commanders and even the brigades below have a disdainful expression. Even Major General Takada, the commander of the 36th Infantry Brigade, said bluntly that one of his brigades could destroy an army of the Chinese army!
Muto Nobuyoshi looked at Ningji Okamura quietly. Ningji Okamura, who understood it, came to the map with a baton. First, he bowed slightly to show his greetings, and then Chengde on the map with a baton: "The predecessor of the new first division of the China Army is the seventh brigade of the Northeast Army of Fengtian. At the time of the Manchurian Incident, The base of the Peking University camp is one of them, with a military strength of about 1,500 to 2,000 people. Our Kwantung Army concentrated the main force of the Second Division and the reading garrison fought fiercely. On the second day, we failed to annihilate or even defeat it. I was not alarmist. This department was originally adapted from the guard brigade of the Northeast Army, with well-trained weapons. It is almost the same as the quality of the Kwantung Army. Its commander, Major General Zhang Xuewu, has very high tactical literacy. It is not difficult to defeat the department with equal force under the conditions of field encounters, but once the department shrinks its defense, it will be very tricky and will become a very difficult hard bone.
Next, I will announce the combat programming and sequence of each unit. Ningji Okamura took a deep breath and opened the file and said loudly: "The 11th and 36th brigades of the infantry under the jurisdiction of the 6th Division and the 4th brigades of the cavalry, together with the 8th and 33rd brigades of the infantry under the jurisdiction of the 10th Division, gathered in Tongliao before the attack by Tongliao. Advance, attack in the direction of Kailu, Xiawa, Chifeng, Linxi and Duolun, and attack from Chaoyang Temple to the north of Jianping and Chifeng with a force, under the unified command of Lieutenant General Banben Zhengyouweimen.
The expressionless Banben Zhengyouweimen immediately got up and cheered with his legs together, and took the battle order of the Kwantung Army handed over by Ningji with both hands. Ningji Okamura continued: "The 3rd and 16th Infantry Brigades and the 3rd Cavalry Brigades under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Division, and the 27th and 27th Infantry under the 14th Division under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Division The 28th Brigade gathered in Beipiao, attacked and advanced by Beipiao, occupied Chengde and Gubeikou, comprehensively and completely swept the Chinese army in the territory of Rehe, and sent a camera to occupy Luo Wenyu, Malanyu and other Great Wall passes, under the unified command of General Xiyi First Lieutenant General!"
Xiyi, with a smile, took the battle plan with both hands and gently put it in front of him. The general's hat pressed on it, as if he was afraid that the order would fly in front of him.
Matsuki, the head of the 14th Division, looked at Xi Yiyi's disdainful and curled his lips slightly. How could he not expect that the first joint battle would listen to Xi Yiyi's command? Can the country bumpkin who can grow rice also take on the responsibility of a commander at the military level?
This is the first large-scale regimental operation since the Japanese army abolished the first-level combat organization after the Russian War. Everyone knows that if the temporarily appointed commander performs well, he is likely to be favored by the military headquarters or His Majesty the Emperor!
Ningji Okamura opened the last volume and ordered: "The 19th and 30th brigades of the infantry under the jurisdiction of the 16th Division and the former enemy's general headquarters should be in the left and right directions. The 14th Brigade and the 33rd Brigade were mixed into the general reserve, and the Kwantung Army's direct flight brigade and the Fujiwara chariot brigade and Kitano Heavy Artillery Brigade will be With the support of special forces, Zhang Haipeng and Cheng Guorui in Manchuria [***] followed the two attacking troops. In addition, the headquarters of the Second Division postponed their return to China, and the garrisons transferred from each division intensified the suppression and suppression of the Hu bandits in various parts of Manchuria.
After reading the order, Nobuyoshi Muto put his hands on the table and said, "The League of Nations will hold a so-called vote on the Manchuria issue on February 21. This is the European powers deliberately interfering in the internal affairs of our empire. We should give it tit-for-tat color and formulate A, The attacking troops in the two directions of B must attack the frontal enemy on the 21st!"
"What is a group of politicians? They are not things. They are a group of guys who want anything but face. Whether they are foreign or domestic, as emperors, we can only answer them with cannons. If you want Manchuria, ask about the guns in our hands first! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Empire! Long live the imperial army!" Muto Nobuyoshi's face turned red and he waved his arm with excitement!
