Chapter Seventy-Four: Ryosuke Isoya appears

7.74 Ryosuke Isoya appears

"Your Excellency, Division Commander! You've done a great job! ”

Upon learning that Ryosuke Isoya had arrived with the main force of the division, Major General Kei Seya immediately rushed to the two stores with the main generals of the Seya detachment. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn this sad place, it is difficult for Major General Kei Seya not to think of the artillery and military supplies that fell into the hands of the Chinese army. Especially the six latest howitzers, which have always made Major General Seya Kei's heart extremely tormented! Due to the negligence of the Seya detachment, these latest cannons were actually given to the Shina army! Making such a low-level mistake is likely to affect Major General Kei Seya's future military career!

looked at Major General Kei Seya who looked "ashamed and embarrassed", Ryosuke Isoya, the division commander of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, and the lieutenant general of the Army, one of the four major Chinese experts in the Showa period of Japan, smiled! Ryosuke Isoya knows Japanese army generals like Major General Kei Seya very well, and these people always value honor more than their lives! Once you encounter defeat, you will become sincerely afraid, as if you have no face to continue to live in this world! In fact, in Isoya's opinion, it is not necessary!

Ryosuke Isoya was born in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, and was classmates with Seishiro Sakagaki and Kenji Dohihara. Ryosuke Isoya's father-in-law is Japan's first generation of China experts, and the originator of espionage against China, Aoki Xuanjun. Ryosuke Isoya has always been very focused on the politics and military of China south of the Yangtze River, that is, on the movements of Sun Yat-sen and his system. He has a good understanding of the Chinese government and the Chinese military. In the eyes of Ryosuke Isoya, the Chinese army still has a certain combat effectiveness, and the propaganda made by the Japanese military department to the outside world is just a trick to coax children!

In the first battle of Tengxian County, Wang Mingzhang, the general of the Sichuan Army, adhered to the county seat of Tengxian County and finally died. A general like this is worthy of the admiration of the Japanese army. It is completely understandable that the Seya detachment suffered a small loss in the face of such an opponent.

Therefore, Ryosuke Isoya did not show any intention of blaming Major General Seya Kei at all, but enlightened Major General Seya Kei very kindly.

"Seya-kun! Let's forget about the unpleasantness that happened at the two stores! I still need you, the vanguard, to destroy the city for the 10th Division! From now on, I will personally go into battle to command the battle! Let's go and meet Li Delin for a while! and that 'winning general' Huang Haoran! ”

Major General Seya Kei was deeply moved by Ryosuke Isoya's "tolerance" and "generosity", and in order to express his gratitude to Ryosuke Isoya, Major General Kei Seya shouted loudly:

"Your Excellency, Division Commander! The Seya detachment is willing to be the pioneer of the division! Step on the line of defense of the Pinkyinans! Go straight to Xuzhou! ”

Naturally, Ryosuke Isoya would not waste Major General Seya's soaring "fighting spirit", and after a moment of silence, he said to Major General Seya Kei: "I have decided to give you the opportunity to establish meritorious service!" Now that the main force of the division has reached the front line, Teng County can no longer satisfy the desire of the 10th Division! Taierzhuang! That's where our 10th Division made meritorious deeds! Have faith? Seya-kun! ”

"Hay! Thank you for your trust! I will use a bayonet to meet His Excellency the division commander to capture Taierzhuang! A lesson for the people of China! ”

Major General Seya Kai roared frantically, due to the shortage of armaments and the delay in the arrival of reinforcements, the Seya detachment could only huddle in the Tengxian area and wait, and even had to endure the day and night attacks of the Chinese army! It wasn't until last night that Major General Seya Kei received the confirmed news that supplies and reinforcements would arrive in Teng County after dawn that he carried out a fierce counterattack! But then it was counterattacked by the Chinese army with all its might! On such an aggrieved day, the Seya detachment has never encountered it!

Now that the ordnance and materials have been replenished, and the main force of the division has come to suppress the formation, Major General Seya Kai feels that the conditions for his revenge have been met! Now that he heard that Ryosuke Isoya had given the Seya detachment permission to attack, Major General Seya Kei was naturally overjoyed!

"Your Excellency the division commander, the Sakamoto detachment in Linyi is still fighting hard! The elite 20th Army Corps and the 25th Army of the Chinese army have appeared in Tengxian County one after another! If you let the Seya detachment go deep alone now, it will be a taboo for soldiers! ”

At this time, a very inopportune voice sounded, and Major General Seya Kei looked up with some annoyance, only to find the division chief of staff Sakai Osa, who was speaking.

Facing Sakai Daisa's reminder, Isoya Ryosuke seemed a little disdainful, and he said arrogantly: "Chinese, I know too well!" There are not many warriors like Wang Mingzhang! Their officers are more like politicians, without the courage to sacrifice! How can an army like this be able to stop our 10th Division! ”

Major General Seya Kai also hurriedly stood up to help, and he shouted loudly: "Wang Mingzhang is dead!" My troops also fought against the 20th Army and the 25th Army! These so-called 'elites' are not as powerful as the Central China Dispatch Army said! Just a few hours ago, I surrounded the 1st Division of the 25th Army! If he could get reinforcements and supplies early, Huang Haoran's undefeated myth would have been ended! ”

Sakai Osa wanted to say something, but was completely gagged by Ryosuke Isoya with one sentence: "Chief of Staff Sakai!" Do you really want our 10th Division and Seishiro Itagaki to arrive at Taierzhuang together? Wouldn't it be good for us to accomplish what the Itagaki Division could not do? ”

Ryosuke Isoya's words nakedly revealed his ambition, and Ryosuke Isoya relied on the fact that the 10th Division led by him was a heavily equipped mechanized unit and had the ability of the air force to coordinate operations, and he did not consider the possibility of defeat at all.

The obstruction of the Itagaki Division instead became the basis for Ryosuke Isoya to judge the insufficient strength of the 5th Theater of Operations. In Isoya's view, the troops that could be mobilized in the 5th theater had already been entangled by the 5th Division on the right flank. As long as the 10th Division boldly penetrates and crosses the Lincheng and Zaozhuang fronts, it is very likely to go straight to Xuzhou and capture the 5th Theater Headquarters of the Chinese Army in one fell swoop! Make a remarkable and invincible feat!

The leadership of the Japanese Army can be roughly divided into four factions: the Continental European faction, the Anglo-American faction, the Russian faction, and the Chinese faction. The contradictions and strife between the four factions have also led to constant changes in Japan's external world.

Among them, the Chinese faction was divided into the northern branch and the southern branch, the northern branch mainly focused on the northern branch and Manchuria centered on Beijing, while the southern branch mainly paid attention to the movements of the Nanjing government of the highest authority.

Since the Meiji Restoration, with the implementation of the policy of enriching the country and strengthening the military, Japan has also begun to expand its business towards the mainland. First and foremost targets are North Korea and China. For this reason, as early as 1870, the Japanese War Department continued to send army personnel to China to investigate China's national conditions and collect Chinese intelligence, and after sending troops to Taiwan in 1874, after negotiations between Japan and China, the temporary dispatch was suspended, and the military attachΓ© of the Qing Legation began to be set up. When Isoya Ryosuke graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, he took the initiative to ask to be sent to China, rather than entering the Army University to continue his studies.

The years spent in China gave Isoya a very deep understanding of China, so that some of Isoya's ideas were also ahead of the Japanese military leadership.

Ryosuke Isoya regarded Sun Yat-sen as a teacher and had great respect for him, believing that Sun Yat-sen had dedicated his life to the Chinese people, and that the supreme authorities, who now claimed to be Sun Yat-sen's successors, were only approaching Britain and the United States for the benefit of themselves and the Song family, and jointly adopted a policy of resistance against Japan and Manchuria.

Ryosuke Isoya believes that warlords and powerful people in China put the interests of themselves, their families, or their supporters first. Many military personnel do not fully understand that kind of atmosphere. Such a conclusion can be said to hit the nail on the head, and it speaks to the essence of the Chinese warlords' fake democracy and real dictatorship.

Isoya Ryosuke also warned Tokyo not to use force to promote its policy toward China, saying that Japan's policy toward China has failed to see the new direction of China's progress since the Xinhai Revolution and the progress of the natural development of the nation, and that it is still following the understanding of the ancient China and the era of warlord secession, and is still engaged in the work of partition and rule. Because most of the "China Communication" within the Army had a strong preconceived notion of China's understanding of China, they could not see the general trend of China's advance, and in the end Japan's attitude toward China reached a dead end!

Ryosuke Isoya's view of China is quite special among Japanese soldiers. He believes that Japan should not invade China, and even if it has no choice but to do so for the time being, it should resume its policy toward China, which focuses on peace, as soon as possible. This is diametrically opposed to the arguments of Ishihara and other pro-battle factions such as "China experts." Ishihara believed that China could not be unified after all, and that Manchuria was not a Chinese territory, but a land of the Manchus. Most people in the Japanese army, government, and financial circles share the same view.

Ryosuke Isoya believed that in order to popularize his correct view of China in Japan, he had to achieve a high position, and in the decaying Japanese Army, what could be more than military exploits in exchange for a future?

Like Seishiro Itagaki's situation, Ryosuke Isoya has achieved a good reputation in politics, but if he wants to rise to the next level in the Japanese army, he needs to build more exploits! Xuzhou is also a good opportunity for Ryosuke Isoya!

On March 23, after capturing Tengxian, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army ignored the blockage of the 5th Division on its left flank, and did not wait for the reinforcements from Bengbu to echo the northward advance, and rushed to Taierzhuang in a desperate manner, in order to go down to Xuzhou in one fell swoop and seize the first merit of opening up the Jinpu line.

On the 25th, the advancing troops of the Isogu Division captured Hanzhuang, confronted the Chinese defenders across the canal, and captured Yixian on the right flank. At this time, the center of gravity of the Lunan war situation had all shifted to the Jinpu Railway on the left flank. The Isogu Division was faced with the important choice of continuing to move south from the Jinpu Line and attacking Xuzhou, or to expand to the southeast, seize Taierzhuang, break through the canal defense line, and then take Xuzhou in the west.

In view of the fact that the south of Hanzhuang in front of Jinpu Road is heavily mountainous, which is not conducive to offensive operations, and only along the first line of the railway, its points and lines are vulnerable to the attack of the Chinese army on the flank, while the area from Zaozhuang, Yixian to Taierzhuang on the east of Jinpu Road is flat and conducive to the deployment of mechanized troops. Occupying this area can play a flank cover role for the Japanese troops moving south on the Jinpu Road, and at the same time prepare for the attack on Xuzhou. In the end, Ryosuke Isoya decided to abandon the former in favor of the latter. Now he can't see anything in his eyes except Taierzhuang, Isoya Ryosuke not only wants to monopolize Taierzhuang and Xuzhou, but also tries to fight all the way across the Huai River and monopolize the great feats of running through the northern and southern battlefields of China!
