Chapter 84: Shame
Just when Zhong Yi was giving a lesson to the mountain cannon, Yanagawa Heisuke had also come to the outside of Jinshan County.
Yanagawa Heisuke came with a monstrous rage, and this time he was really angry!
Because the performance of the Kunisaki detachment was so bad, so bad that he couldn't bear it!
"Kunisaki-kun, can you tell me what the hell is going on?" Yanagawa Heisuke's tone sounded normal, and the expression on his face was calm, but the senior Japanese generals present could feel that he was already on the verge of losing control of his emotions, and this was just the last calm before the storm.
"Hello!" Noboru Kunisaki was speechless, and could only pause heavily.
Yanagawa Heisuke took a deep breath of cold air, tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, and said: "Just today at noon, a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun asked me, when will the Tenth Army be able to complete the task assigned by the base camp, occupy Songjiang and Qingpu, and cut off the retreat of the main force of the 700,000 Najun Army on the Songhu battlefield? β
After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke said again: "Kunisaki-kun, do you know how I answered? β
"Hello!" How did Noboru Kunisaki know how Heisuke Yanagawa answered? You can only pause.
Yanagawa Heisuke said: "I told him, Kunisaki-kun, you are quite a famous general, and the Fukuyama Wing is the infantry wing with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Fifth Division, which has the reputation of the Steel Army, so it will definitely be able to capture Jinshan County before dark, Songjiang Fucheng will be captured before noon tomorrow, and Qingpu will be able to occupy by tomorrow evening." β
Hearing this, the shame on Kunisaki's face was even worse.
Yanagawa Heisuke said again: "It's a pity, Kunisaki-kun, you made me break my word!" β
"Hello!" Kunisaki nodded again, "I am incompetent, please punish Your Excellency the Commander!" β
"Baga, what I want is not punishment, I don't want punishment!" Yanagawa Heisuke finally couldn't hold back, and the long-suppressed anger in his chest finally gushed out like boiling magma, "What I want is Jinshan County!" What I want is Jinshan County! What I want is Jinshan County! It's the county seat of Jinshan! β
Kunizaki was silent, Yanagawa Heisuke's saliva sprayed all over his face, and he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it.
Yanagawa Heisuke waved his arms and roared hysterically: "Kunisaki-kun, do you know that our Tenth Army has now become the laughing stock of the Imperial Army?" One army, three and a half divisions plus two supplementary corps, a full 130,000 army, but it was blocked by only half a battalion of the Chinese army in Jinshan for two whole days and nights! β
After a pause, he said: "I finally got ashore, and the troops and equipment were finally deployed, so we can always move forward quickly, right?" Ha, as a result, I hit my head in Jinshan County and broke the blood flow! Shame, Kunisaki-kun, don't you think this is a great shame for the Tenth Army, no, and the entire Imperial Army? β
"Hello!" Noboru Kunisaki paused again and said, "The humble position has disappointed His Excellency the Commander. β
"Disappointed? I am indeed disappointed in you, very disappointed! Yanagawa Heisuke's mood finally calmed down a bit, nodded and said, "But I'm still willing to give you one last chance." β
After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke said again: "Kunisaki-kun, tonight, your Kunisaki detachment will not rest, fight at night, launch a strong attack on Jinshan County overnight, and you must take Jinshan County before midnight!" β
Hearing this, the senior officer of the Kunisaki detachment was stunned for a moment.
Your Excellency, Commander, is this angry and confused by the defeat in front of you?
Kunisaki Noboru took a breath and said: "Your Excellency Commander, the lowly is willing to lead his troops to launch a strong attack on Jinshan County overnight, but the result is probably difficult to satisfy Your Excellency the Commander, it is not that the lowly commander will destroy his own prestige, our Kunisaki Detachment has been storming during the day and has not been able to take Jinshan County for a whole day, and it is even more impossible to fight at night." β
Yanagawa Heisuke's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "So, you don't want to attack?" β
"Hello!" Kunizaki shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, the cost of storming Jinshan County is too great, and it will take time, why don't you bypass it first?" β
"Nani?" Yanagawa Heisuke was stunned and said, "Bypass it? β
"Hello!" Kunizaki Dengtou said for a moment, "Jinshan County is like a copper bowl bean that can't be broken or beaten, and there is really no good way to take it in a hurry, so I think that the best way is to bypass Jinshan County, directly attack Songjiang and Qingpu, and quickly cut off the retreat of the main force of the Songhu battlefield!" β
"Bypass Jinshan County and attack Songjiang and Qingpu directly?" Yanagawa Heisuke's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and Shi immediately shook his head and said, "No, the road to Songjiang passes through the city from Jinshan County, if you don't take Jinshan County, you can't pass with heavy weapons at all, and without heavy weapons, the imperial army will lack the ability to attack fortifications!" β
"Maybe you don't need the ability to attack at all!" Kunizaki Dengdao, "The Battle of Songhu has been fought until now, and the main force of China gathered in western Shanghai has long been exhausted, and at this time, only one division of the imperial army needs to appear behind it, and the main force of 700,000 will definitely collapse in an instant. β
After a slight pause, Kunizaki Noboru said again: "What's more, even if the road can't be opened, the mountain artillery and the 92 infantry artillery of the imperial army can still maneuver from the path, and with the support of mountain artillery and infantry artillery, the imperial army can still occupy an absolute advantage in firepower." β
"Yo Xi!" Yanagawa Heisuke is finally convinced.
Of course, more importantly, Yanagawa Heisuke did not have enough confidence to take Kanayama County in a short period of time.
After all, the Kunisaki detachment is the trump card of the Tenth Army, and the Kunisaki detachment will not be able to take Jinshan County in a short time, so it will definitely be possible to change to other troops? Don't be naΓ―ve!
After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke said again: "However, Jinshan County must be taken!" β
"Hello!" Kunisaki shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency Commander, please hand over Jinshan County to our Kunisaki detachment, we will definitely take Jinshan County resolutely!" β
"Not only must we take Jinshan County, but we must also completely annihilate the Chinese army in the city, especially that Zhong Yi, I must see his corpse!" Yanagawa Heisuke patted Noboru Kunisaki on the shoulder, and said, "Kunisaki-kun, whether you can wash away this shame and whether you can save the reputation of our Tenth Army in the military world depends on the performance of your Saki detachment, Kunisaki-kun, you must not let me down again this time!" β
"Hello!" Kunisaki paused and said, "Your Excellency Commander, rest assured! β
"Yo Xi!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded, then turned back to Tetsujiro Yamada and said, "Yamada-kun, order the Sixth Division and the Eighteenth Division to immediately bypass Kanaya Prefecture and attack in the direction of Matsue!" After advancing to the vicinity of Songjiang, the 18th Division stayed, and the 6th Division continued to attack along the road in the direction of Qingpu! β
"Hello!" Tetsujiro Yamada slammed the leader's order.
