4.83 Battle of Baoshan (2)

The scale of the Japanese army's attack on the 99th Army was unprecedented, and all the planes and combat vehicles in the sky and underground were put into battle, and it was this three-dimensional attack that caused more than half of the 56th and 61st divisions guarding Wusong to suffer casualties and lose their positions.

Now, the 99th Army enjoys even more "generous treatment".

Standing on the high tower-shaped bridge, Admiral Matsui Ishone admired the fire and smoke in the distant sky with his telescope, took a deep breath and said to his chief of staff, Major General Mamoru Iinuma:

"I'm going to teach that 'God of War' a hard lesson! Songhu will be Huang Haoran's grave! ”

Major General Mamoru Iinuma looked at the confident commander, and he remembered the meeting the other day......

After the 99th Army perfectly got rid of the pursuit of the 23rd Zuo of Anda, the military top brass in Tokyo finally couldn't sit still!

Huang Haoran and his 99th Army were like a huge fish bone stuck in the throat of the "Shanghai Dispatch Army", they couldn't swallow it, they couldn't spit it out, and this fish bone was still highly poisonous!

Commander Matsui Ishine held a special meeting on board the warship, and the attendees, except for Tajiri Toshio Daisa, chief of staff of the 3rd Division, and Katamura Shihachi Daisa, chief of staff of the 11th Division, were all officers with the rank of major general or higher in the "Shanghai Dispatch Army," and several fleet commanders of the Navy were not invited.

As soon as Major General Mamoru Iinuma saw this posture, he knew that this was a meeting privately organized by the army, and the topic of discussion was naturally related to the fact that the 11th Division suffered several defeats in front of the 99th Army.

The head of the 11th Division's chief of staff, Katamura Shihachi Daisa, was about to be buried under the table, and his colleagues looked at Katamura Daisa's eyes were also very unfriendly, in their thoughts, Katamura Daisa, the idiot who buried the name of the 11th Division and thousands of imperial soldiers, should have been seppuku a long time ago, but I didn't expect this coward to have the face to live until now!

The face of Lieutenant General Yamamuro Sotake, the commander of the 11th Division, was also blue and white, and the 11th Division's record since the start of the war was really not good, and only the discounted victory of overcoming the defense line of the 12th Brigade could be achieved.

After Wusong landed, Lieutenant General Fujita Shin, the commander of the 3rd Division, who had a smooth hand, watched the two leaders of the 11th Division make a fool of themselves, and he comfortably played with the ribbon on his general's uniform.

There are more or less contradictions among the various divisions and regiments of the army, and now some people are very happy to see that the friendly troops are deflated.

Commander Matsui Ishone did not like this atmosphere very much, but the mood of the newly victorious unit of the 3rd Division still had to be taken care of, and General Matsui Ishone cleared his throat and gave the generals of the 3rd Division a wake-up call.

After the conference room fell silent, Major General Mamoru Iinuma, the chief of staff of the "Shanghai Dispatch Army," turned on the slide machine, and several black-and-white photos appeared on the white screen one after another.

Chinese Most of the Japanese generals present here did not know foreign languages, but the writing style of Chinese was somewhat similar to Japanese, and from the few words they knew intermittently, the generals guessed that these photos were on the front pages of newspapers around the world in the past few days.

Looking at the content of the distributed pictures, they are all burning Japanese flags and Japanese soldiers lying in the mud, and you don't need to translate to know that the front pages of these newspapers are all reports on the unfavorable operations of the "Shanghai Dispatch Army".

There were no photos of Japanese newspapers in the slides, and that was because there was strict press control in Japan, and the military department would not allow these negative news to spread in the country.

Katamura Shihachi Daisa and Yamamuro Sect Commander were once again the focus of attention in the conference room, and if the lights hadn't been turned off during the slideshow, Yamamuro Secto's face was as red as a steamed crab would have become a joke in the "Shanghai Dispatch Army".

Mamoru Iinuma asked his subordinates to play the slides again, and when they replayed, Mamoru Iinuma pointed at the image with a command stick.

Under the guidance of Maj. Gen. Mamoru Iinuma, the officers noticed that the text on the pictures had one thing in common, that is, the number "99" appeared in the headlines of these thick newspapers without exception.

What this "99" means, every officer of the "Shanghai Dispatch Army" here knows very well!

Once again, the conference room fell silent.

Finally, the head of the Yamamuro Sect Martial Master jumped up, he waved his fists and shouted, "Your Excellency Commander! Our 11th Division was exploited by Huang Haoran! This cunning fox is not worthy of being a warrior at all! When I caught the opportunity to go head-to-head with his 99th Army, he ran away with his tail between his legs! I'm going to kill this fox with my own hands! Your Excellency, Commander! I implore you to give me this opportunity! ”

The performance of the head of the Yamamuro sect did not make Admiral Matsui Ishine feel pleased, but he was worried about the arrogance of the head of the Yamamuro sect that had not changed in the slightest.

Huang Haoran and his 99th Army have already shed so much blood for the "Shanghai Dispatch Army", but these commanders of the Japanese Army have not learned a lesson at all!

Senior General Matsui Ishine felt that he could not be subtle, but should remind his generals directly, otherwise the tragedy would continue to be staged, which was unacceptable to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War!

"Gentlemen! If it was just a one-time loss, we could understand it as an accident..... However, Huang Haoran's 99th Army has taken away victories in front of us again and again! Can we understand it as an accident anymore? ”

"Your Excellency, Commander! Do you mean that the army of our empire is inferior to the 99th Army of the Chinese people? "The chief of staff of the 3rd Division, Toshio Tajiri, felt that he could not accept what Matsui Ishine said, and he believed that Matsui Ishine was already suspected of slandering the imperial soldiers.

Admiral Matsui Ishone ignored Tajiri Toshio's rebuttal, and he continued his words:

"Gentlemen! The Empire's intention to annex China has not been a day or two, and since the great His Excellency Hirobumi Ito, the 'continental strategy' has been our national policy of Japan! We in Japan need the mainland! Only with the mainland can we realize our long-cherished wish to dominate Asia! ”

"But, gentlemen, do you know the people of China? This people have existed for 5,000 years, during which time they have been occupied several times by foreign civilizations, such as the Yuan and Qing ...... Eventually, however, these alien peoples were assimilated and made part of themselves! It's been 5,000 years, and it's still China! From the brink of perdition to strength again and again! ”

"Luckily! We in Japan had the emergence of the Meiji elite, who led us to the front of China, and now, we have the opportunity to occupy the mainland! Japan, we must win this war! We are a small country and cannot afford to lose! ”

"I have also wondered for a long time why China has been able to move from the trough to revival again and again. Finally, I found the answer to my question. That's the 'hero'! Every time a heroic figure appears in China, this ancient nation immediately turns from water to oil! Just one point! They will burn everything that stands in their way! Reborn from the ashes! ”

"So, we must not allow the Chinaites to have their heroes! Their hope! Never! ”

"Look at our failures in Shanghai! We are creating their new hero for the people of China, and that is Huang Haoran! Such an outcome is dangerous! We can't let the people of China wake up! So, be sure to bury this big trouble that we have created! ”

"Gentlemen! I need your help! ”

When he said the last sentence, Matsui stood up from his chair, walked to the front of the screen, and bowed deeply to the subordinates in the conference room.

The commanders of the "Shanghai Dispatch Army" went completely crazy!

"Destroy the 99th Army! Kill Huang Haoran! ”

A furious sound came from inside the cabin, drifting around the black sea......
