Chapter 32: The Itagaki Poison Plan

As soon as General Muto said what he thought, the two chief and deputy chiefs of staff gave a thumbs up at the same time, "High, really high!" His Excellency the Commander lifted his chin with a smug expression.

The three supreme commanders of the Japanese Kwantung Army, both nominally and in fact, got together and discussed the matter of supporting the mixed wing left behind in Shaling. In the end, Commander Muto Nobuyoshi decided not only to send generals to Shaling, but also to increase troops! He wants to send his soldiers and generals to the sand ridge together! This time, we must go all out and completely wipe out the volunteers in the sand ridge!

The soldiers said that anyway, the Kwantung Army had elite divisions. No matter which division it is, just draw an elite wing at will. As for which warriors to send? Be careful! You can't send an embroidered pillow like Hideki Kono. If you want to send, you have to send famous generals and fierce generals! Send a fierce general who can win the battle!

The servants wrote down the famous generals in the Kwantung Army on paper one by one, and picked them one by one. Which one is the most famous? Who won the most battles? Who has a flexible mind and a tenacious style? Who else is stupid and stupid like a pig and can only play prestige in front of the common people? In the end, one name was stood out and received a unanimous nod from the trio.

Seishiro Itagaki (Itagaki), with the rank of Osa, is currently the chief of the second staff section of the intelligence chief of the Kwantung Army. In his early years, he graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and participated in the Russo-Japanese War. He is known for his bravery in battle. He was one of the most combat-capable staff officers under Muto Nobuyoshi.

In order to completely eliminate the Sand Ridge Volunteers, Commander Muto planned to send the tiger general Itagaki Seishiro to Sand Ridge this time.

At the same time, Muto Nobuyoshi transferred a refined infantry wing from the elite 10th Division, and at the same time specially transferred a chariot brigade to Itagaki Seishiro. In addition, the commander dedicates an aviation squadron under his direct command to the support of the Itagaki detachment.

As long as Itagaki Daisa has a request, this aviation squadron will be on call and can launch an air attack on the enemy of the Itagaki detachment from the air at any time!

Okay! With the strength of these three people, let alone the Shaling Volunteers, there are so many volunteers in the northeast, and any one of them cannot be the opponent of this reinforcement detachment! The joint action of the three giants of the Kwantung Army is really extraordinary!

Straight army uniform, shiny leather boots. Not tall, but stout and powerful. He has a square face, a short, dark and thick beard on his upper lip, and his eyes are often piercing. This is the 47-year-old Japanese soldier Osa Itagaki Seishiro.

Itagaki Osa rode a tall chestnut Oriental horse, and his mood was quite agitated when he looked at the Japanese soldiers who were moving forward. He was ordered by the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Muto Nobuyoshi, to rush to the Sand Ridge with this reinforced wing to sweep away the volunteers.

On the other side of the sand ridge, there is still most of the mixed wing waiting for His Excellency Dazuo to come and command. Combined, these two troops can almost be formed into a brigade!

In the Japanese army, all those who can command a brigade are major generals without exception. Itagaki Seishiro joined the army at the age of 19 after graduating from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and participated in the Russo-Japanese War. At the age of forty-three, he became a big sa, and in the eyes of others, this is already a not slow promotion speed, but Itagaki Seishiro still feels that it is too slow!

Mr. Okamura Ninji, who studied with him in the 16th class of the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, has been promoted to major general this year, and he is now the deputy chief of the General Staff of the Kwantung Army and the serious boss of Seishiro Itagaki!

If nothing else, Seishiro Itagaki's appointment as general will most likely be issued before the end of this battle. In that case, he Seishiro Itagaki wouldn't be too far behind his old classmate Ninji Okamura.

The captains who had been squatting in the sand ridge for several days led their men and horses out for several miles. The arrival of Seishiro Itagaki made these people disappointed and surprised, and their emotions were so complicated that even they didn't know how to express them.

If we can get a wing captain out of a few of them, maybe it's someone's turn. Who knew that the most reluctant Commander Muto had appointed another one. Of course, the appointed Itagaki Seishiro must be a much stronger officer than several captains, and they are beyond the reach of others in terms of seniority and combat performance.

People don't come alone, there are people in Itagaki Osa! Whether it was the hardcover wing or the tank brigade, all of them gave these Japanese officers and soldiers who had been stupidly in the suburbs of Shaling for several days a belief that they would win! With so many people and chariots, it's hard not to win!

After Seishiro Itagaki led his troops to join forces with the Japanese troops squatting on the outskirts of Shaling, His Excellency Osa immediately convened a short meeting before the battle. The meeting was to announce a series of appointments to officers, as well as the next steps in the battle plan. There's nothing to say, if there are so many people who can't fight again, there is no need for others to say, Seishiro Itagaki himself will have to wipe his neck!

Two infantry wings, attacking the sand ridge in two ways! The wing that came up later was neatly armed, and it was estimated that the volunteers would not dare to touch him; The wing in front, that is, the majority of the wing left behind by Hideki Kono, is likely to become the main target of the Volunteers!

Itagaki Seishiro ordered the chariot brigade to follow behind most of the squadron in the sand ridge, and if the volunteers came to fight, he would rush up with the chariot brigade and call for planes to bomb it. From the sky to the ground, give the volunteers a three-dimensional blow to the open space! At the same time, the hardcover wing was ordered to be ready to change the marching route at any time, as long as there was a fight, the hardcover wing could quickly go over and outflank and launch a devastating blow to the volunteers!

The volunteer officers and soldiers in Shaling did not know the poisonous plan of Seishiro Itagaki of the devil of Shaling, and they were still making every effort to defend the Shaling base area.

Because Hu Fei had made great contributions in the last battle to kill Kono's British plane, in addition to rewarding him with 200 pieces of ocean, Commander Zhang Haitian transferred his Ninth Brigade to Shaling Town to take up the town's patrol and guard duties. In other words, the Ninth Brigade has become the garrison of Sand Ridge Town!

Although Shaling is not a big town, because the volunteers have built a base here, many patriotic and enthusiastic young people in the northeast and even all over the country have come to Shaling to participate in the anti-Japanese resistance.

The number of young people increased, and the population of the town naturally increased. It is human instinct that young men and women are attracted to each other. There are a large number of excellent young men gathered in the town, and young women in the town, including the surrounding villages and towns, naturally go to the town without any trouble, wanting to see if they can find a suitable other half.

During this period, young men and women looked at each other, and there were not a few who formed small couples and small families. Since Shaling Town has become the base of the volunteers, the officers and soldiers of the volunteers who have families and families naturally take their families into the town to live. Coupled with the famous relocation of nearby counties and townships, in just the past two years, the scale of Shaling Town has expanded several times!

When there are more people, there are more things, and relatively speaking, there is also more oil and water. Hu Fei, the garrison commander of Shaling Town, has become an enviable fat shortage. At least he can go home at noon every day and eat Ning Xiaocui's cooking, right? Can he go home every night and lie down in the warm bed to sleep? This is enough to make the vast majority of the division and brigade commanders of the Volunteer Army red-eyed.
