Chapter 754 Finding Out the Cause
After Okamura Ninji heard the chief of staff's suggestion, he immediately agreed, now it is necessary to mobilize more troops to come over, and it just so happens that there is no war in the Philippines, and it is still very possible to transfer troops from a few divisions from there, so Okamura Ninji quickly issued an order to transfer troops from the Philippines to a few divisions and regiments!
Although Mandalay and Yangon still have nearly 500,000 troops combined, Okamura Ningji feels that it is not enough, far from enough, because his opponent is Hu Bin, this person fights and is never afraid of how many people the opponent is, but what equipment and tactics the opponent has to restrain him.
But now, Okamura Ningji's side has no equipment that can completely restrain Hu Bin, and there is no tactics, now they are defensive, there are not so many tactics for them to choose from, and they can't defend themselves, how to mention tactics!
"Report, Yamada Motoshin sent a telegram, saying that they have been unable to contact the front line command, and now his defense line has suffered very heavy casualties, and the Chinese armored forces are violently attacking his defense line, and the troops of several divisions and regiments in the vicinity will either be wiped out, or they will not be able to withstand it for a long time, now ask for guidance on the next step!" A staff officer took a telegram to Okamura Ninji and reported.
Yamada Motoshin was the commander of the southern front, and after he couldn't contact Inada Shoichi, he immediately sent a telegram to Iida Shojiro and Okamura Ninji, hoping to get guidance on how they should fight next, and at the same time told the command that they might not hold out until dark!
"Damn it!" After Okamura Ninji heard what the staff officer said, he looked at his watch, there were still 3 hours to go and it was dark, and they fought all day during the day, and it was a question of whether they could march after retreating at night, and the soldiers were very tired now!
"Report, according to a telegram from our front-line troops, there has been a mutiny on the side of Shoichi Inada, and the local recruits are attacking our officers, and now the officers are suffering heavy casualties, and the recruits are out of control.
According to a telegram from the front, Inada Shoichi is helping the other troops break out with his guard troops! At this time, another staff officer came over and said to Okamura Ninji.
"What, mutiny?" Okamura Ninji was shocked when he heard the news, this was something he had never thought about.
"Yaga, how can this be!" When the chief of staff heard this, his face changed greatly, the relationship between the local recruits and officers was good before, and he had never heard of such a situation!
"What the hell is going on, why did the local soldiers mutiny, is China playing in the way? Or is there something wrong on our side? Okamura shouted angrily at the staff officer.
"I don't know, there is no specific information!" The staff officer said immediately.
"Let me find out, what the hell is going on, damn it, mutiny, mutiny in battle, doesn't this cost the life of our entire defense line?" Okamura Ninji shouted loudly.
This matter is too serious, first, there was a mutiny on the front line, which means that Inada Shoyi's side will definitely not work, and he will definitely not be able to suppress it, the front line is now fighting, and he simply does not have the time to control the troops.
Second, if the mutiny is known to the local soldiers of other units, it will bring fluctuation to the hearts of the entire local soldiers, no matter how to deal with those soldiers who participated in the mutiny, it will make the whole army fall into a state of mutual suspicion, officers and soldiers do not trust, this is a very serious problem, the command of the troops, it is not at all, and there is no need to fight!
"Commander, this matter is too serious, we must block the news, and besides, find out the situation as soon as possible!" The chief of staff looked at Okamura Ninji and said.
"Let me investigate!" Okamura Ninji shouted loudly.
"Hey!" The chief of staff left right away.
And Okamura Ninji was touching his head at this time, he never dreamed that his troops would mutiniate at this time, and the local soldiers performed very well in the Americas, and many local soldiers had been promoted to squad leaders and squad leaders, why did such a thing happen here.
And on Shojiro Iida's side, they also received news from the front line, and he now wants to investigate clearly, what happened on the front line, the relationship was originally very good, why did such a thing happen at this time.
But this incident is good news for the Chinese troops, and now that the troops attacking on the northern front have stopped, take advantage of this rare time to take a good rest, and the soldiers can also sit in the trenches and smoke a cigarette.
"Come on, smoke this, I see you've vomited several times!" At this time, a battalion commander threw a cigarette to a Mi man sitting nearby.
Now that Mi Guo is the deputy battalion commander of the battalion headquarters, of course, that Mi people do not have the authority to command, can only follow the battalion headquarters to fight, this time the scale of the battle is very large, the battalion headquarters does not set up a command center, not only the battalion headquarters does not set up a command headquarters, even the regiment headquarters does not have a regimental headquarters, and now they are acting in accordance with the command orders of the brigade level.
"Thank you! I wonder, why do the local recruits work so hard for the Japanese devils, is it cost-effective? Now their homes are occupied by the Japanese, and now, not only do they not resist, but they also help the devils to fight us, I really can't figure it out! The man sat there, took the cigarette, lit it, took a puff, sat there and said.
Because they killed too many local soldiers today, and they were soft-handed, but those recruits were still charging this way, and they had to shoot and continue to kill.
"It's very simple, just to make a living, of course, there are speculators, but there are not many!" The battalion commander said with a smile.
"Mixed food?" The Mi man still didn't understand and said.
"Well, they have no ability to resist at all, they have no weapons to resist, and there is no one to lead them to resist, you say, what can they do, they can only come here to eat.
However, no one thought that the Japanese would use those rice people as cannon fodder, so you can also see that the local soldiers began to resist, which is a good thing, a good thing for us! The battalion commander said with a smile.
"It's really a good thing, but, hey, I don't know how many people I killed today, they are all people I don't know, and there are no hateful people, I don't know how to go back to tell my lover, I really want to tell him, I have killed a lot of soldiers on the battlefield in China, I don't know them, I don't have hatred with them, I can't say that, I can't say that!" The Mi man said and hugged his head.
"Haha, you're on the horns!" The battalion commander saw him say this and laughed.
"Why? Isn't it? We have no enmity with them at all, so why fight like this? The Chinese man looked at the battalion commander and asked.
"Then look at the back, see for yourself, how much my troops have sacrificed, and do my troops have a grudge against those local soldiers? Not only do we have no hatred, but even, the local people here used to be our country, why do we fight?
We are not fighting the locals, we really have no enmity with the locals, but we have a grudge against the Japanese, and since they are now helping the Japanese to fight, then whether we fight or not, if we don't fight, then we will be sent to death.
In the same way, I heard you say that in the Americas, your troops and Japanese troops are also fighting, and there are many Southeast Asian soldiers in the Japanese troops. Then I want to ask you, how many soldiers in your country can be sacrificed? The battalion commander looked at the Mi man and asked a few questions, and the Mi man sat there and thought about it carefully.
"Think about it, it's not our fault, we're also forced to take up arms to resist, except for madmen, no one likes war!" The battalion commander stood up with a wry smile and spoke.
Now they are waiting, waiting for the order to attack.
"You're right, we have to resist, they can't be called locals, but Japanese troops, when we face the Japanese troops, we can only fight, we can only take up arms to fight!" The Mi man raised his head, looked at the battalion commander gratefully and said.
"It's good to have it figured out! I guess you're going to be promoted soon, right? The deputy battalion commander said with a smile.
"Probably, yes, I estimate that I will soon be promoted to lieutenant colonel, and I expect that after this battle, we will definitely be transferred back to China, and the war in China is now very hard, and our troops are losing and retreating in the face of Japanese troops.
Now the domestic staff also hopes that we can go back as soon as possible, I heard that our officers are in charge of the troops above the battalion level, and they are all serving as commanders! The Mi man smiled and said.
"Congratulations, and I hope you can kill a few more Japanese on the American battlefield!" The battalion commander said with a smile.
"What about you?" The Mi people looked at the battalion commander and asked.
"I, I don't know, we don't have that much awareness of this, where we are needed, we will go? Besides, Brother Bin must have made arrangements for our grassroots commanders, and my credit is enough to upgrade the regiment-level cadres, however, I don't want to be promoted, if it is promoted, it means that we must have cadres above the regimental level sacrificed! The battalion commander shook his head and said.
"You won't be transferred back home?" The rice man asked again.
"Only the sacrificed soldiers and the seriously injured soldiers can return to China!" The battalion commander looked at him, smiled and said.
That rice man, after hearing it, didn't know what to say.
"Battalion Commander Wang, the regiment commander ordered, prepare to attack, and the troops should move to the front!" At this time, a communications officer from the regimental headquarters ran over and shouted at the battalion commander.
