Chapter 42: Exposure
At the same time, the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army Base Camp in Tokyo.
Deputy Chief of Staff Tada Jun was answering the phone with his back bowed, and it was his immediate boss who called him, the chief of staff of the Japanese army base camp General Staff Headquarters, Miyajihito Kanin.
Tada Jun was just listening, and from time to time he let out a sigh.
After a long time, Tada Jun finally put down the phone, and the expression on his face was as embarrassed as he was.
Tada Jun felt very aggrieved, and the battle of Jin Shanwei was not guided by him, so why should he bear the blame?
As soon as Tada Jun put down the phone, the head of the War Department, Shimomura Ding, hurriedly walked in, and said with a pause: "Your Excellency, are you looking for me?" ”
Tada Jun didn't speak, just looked at Shimomura Ding coldly.
Shimomura's face immediately became a little unnatural.
The chief of staff, Kanin Miyajihito, is a member of the royal family, and he is old, so he basically doesn't care much about specific affairs, so the real person in charge is actually Tada Jun, the deputy chief of staff.
Facing the top boss, Shimomura is still a little stressed!
But then again, Shimomura is not afraid of Tada.
After a long time, Tada Juncai asked quietly, "Shimomura-kun, have you listened to the radio?" ”
"Broadcasting? Is Your Excellency the Deputy Minister referring to the broadcasts of the Imperial News Agency? Shimomura was confused, "I just came back from the Tsurumai Fortress, and I haven't had time to listen to today's broadcast. ”
"Yaga!" Tada Jun said angrily, "I'm talking about the broadcast of the Shina News Agency!" ”
"The broadcast of the China News Agency?" When Shimomura heard this, his heart suddenly froze, it was broken, it must be that the Tenth Army had a problem on Jinshanwei's side!
Sure enough, Tada Jun continued: "Just now, the Central News Agency of China broadcast a message to the world, claiming that it had achieved an unprecedented victory in Jinshanwei and killed more than 4,000 imperial troops, is this true? ”
"This ......" Shimomura's forehead immediately oozed a bean-sized cold sweat, and he didn't dare to answer.
"The Tenth Army has made such a big mistake in Jinshanwei, and you haven't reported it to me!" Tada Jun said angrily, "Shimomura-kun, do you still have me in your eyes?" ”
It was determined that there was something wrong with Jin Shanwei, and Shimomura's mood suddenly became bad!
It was not easy for him to win the specific execution power to lead the landing of Jinshanwei from Xianyuan Gong Zairen, originally thinking of fighting a beautiful beach-grabbing landing in Jinshanwei, so as to replace Tada Jun's position, but now, his move is likely to lift a stone and hit his own feet, which in turn allows Tada Jun to take back the actual control of the staff headquarters!
"Your Excellency, I will investigate this matter clearly!" As soon as he said the next word, Shimomura turned around and left.
Back in the office, Shimomura immediately called the hardcore henchman Hebe Torushiro, and when he asked, he realized that the Tenth Army's beach rush today really didn't succeed!
Shimomura said: "So, what the Shina News Agency said is true? ”
"I'm afraid so." Kawabe Torushiro said bitterly, "And the people of China don't know that Tanabe-kun has broken jade, otherwise they will even more publicize it!" ”
"This empire must not be recognized!" Shimomura slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and shouted, "You immediately arrange for a press conference and prepare a speech for me, the theme of which is the Jinshanwei landing, just say that because of the deviation in the grasp of meteorological and hydrological conditions, the landing has been delayed." ”
After a pause, Shimomura frowned again and said: "As for the casualty figures, let's just say that more than 400 people were broken jade, and more than 1,000 people were swept into the tide and disappeared, I would rather the warriors of the imperial army be swept into the tide of Hangzhou Bay and disappeared, and I would never want them to die under the guns of the lowly and cowardly Shina people, do you understand?" ”
"Hello!" Towashiro by the river slammed his head and turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Shimomura Ding shouted to the river side Toroshiro again, and ordered, "The Shina News Agency said that the Battle of Jinshanwei was commanded by a security captain who graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, you let the special high school go to check, there are not many Shina officers with foreign backgrounds, and the investigation is expected to not be too difficult, I need all the information of this person!" ”
"Hello!" Towashiro by the river paused his head again.
……
Jin Shanwei, the artillery position of the Snake King Hall.
Zhong Yi didn't know that his identity had been exposed by the Central News Agency.
The news media in this era had no sense of secrecy at all, and there were even more serious leaks in the Battle of Songhu.
When a Ta Kung Pao reporter was interviewing the deeds of the Pudong artillery, he actually directly put the photos of the artillery positions in the newspaper, and as a result, they attracted devil planes and destroyed the Pudong artillery with a wanton and indiscriminate bombardment!
So Zhong Yi is really nothing, and he is not afraid of his identity being revealed!
Even if the little devil knew that it was he who commanded the Jinshan Guard, what could he do? Is he still afraid of the assassination of devils?
At this time, Zhong Yi had already led the regiments of the security team to dig out the mountain artillery from the ruins of the artillery position.
The life of this kid is really hard, his artillery position was full of six heavy bombs from the devil air force, and the last bombing not only blew up the house, but also blew up the Swedish-made Bufors mountain cannon into a twist! Under normal circumstances, the mountain cannon is absolutely dead or alive!
But when Zhong Yi led people to dig out the mountain cannon from the ruins, this kid only scratched a little skin!
Zhong Yi said: "As the saying goes, if you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, mountain artillery, you kid is a blessed person!" ”
"Blessed?" The mountain cannon shook his head and said, "There's a fart blessing, maybe the devil will be blown up tomorrow!" ”
"Tomorrow?" Zhong Yi smiled and said, "I dare to guarantee that your kid will definitely live to be a hundred years old, with children around his knees and children and grandchildren!" This is what a blessed person should be. ”
As he spoke, Zhong Yi suddenly sneezed twice in a row.
The mountain cannon said with concern: "Captain Zhong, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, I'm fine." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "By the way, mountain artillery, are there still shells?" ”
"Cannonballs? And so much! The mountain artillery sighed and said, "It's a pity that the cannon is gone, otherwise the little master can at least kill more than a dozen tanks of the devil, plus dozens of machine guns!" ”
Zhong Yi laughed and said: "Actually, even if there is no artillery, as long as there are shells, you can still do devil tanks!" ”
"Can you kill the devil tank without a gun?" Hearing this, the mountain cannon was stunned for a moment and said, "Captain Zhong, what are you doing?" ”
"Easy!" Zhong Yi said, "If you directly use a hammer to smash the bottom fire, you can also shoot the shells out, but it can't hit far, but it is more than enough to deal with the devil tanks stuck on the mudflats!" ”
"Just hit it with a hammer?" The mountain cannon was dumbfounded, "Captain Zhong, is this okay?" ”
"Lonely, huh?" Zhong Yi snorted and said, "Take us to carry the shells!" ”
When the mountain artillery heard this, he hurriedly took Zhong Yi and a few others to find a hidden cellar not far away, opened the cellar door, and saw more than a dozen wooden crates stacked inside, and pried open the lid of the wooden crates, which were full of 75mm caliber shells!
