Compared to after learning that the main force of the Japanese army appeared in the direction of Jinshagang. 【. com text] Baoqing County was actually in a state of being encircled, but instead of being nervous, Yang Zhen's mood relaxed a lot. At present, Lieutenant General Ushijima, commander of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army in Qingyuan, was holding a telegram from the commander of the army severely reprimanding him for changing the battle plan drawn up by him without authorization, and the whole division crossed Wandarshan and went north to Baoqing, and he was very angry.
Looking at the division commander who received the reprimanding telegram from the army commander, his face was pale. The chief of staff of the division standing beside him said cautiously: "Your Excellency, did you call back Lieutenant General Ha Tian to explain our tactical intentions well." I think Harata will understand. ”
"Don't get too stiff with His Excellency Shigeichi Hata, after all, he is now the commander of the army. Previously, he sent six infantry battalions to reinforce the 10th Division, and you only sent six infantry squadrons. On this trip north, you insisted on transferring a large number of troops and ammunition from the Eighth National Border Garrison to replenish the 11th Division, which has already made Lieutenant General Shigeichi Harata very unhappy. If the stalemate continues, this will be very disadvantageous to you and the 11th Division. ”
For the persuasion of the righteous ** Zuo, Ushijima waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't worry about him, let's continue." As long as we take Jiamusi and cut off the other party's supply line, he Hakuda Shigeichi will not do anything to us. Moreover, the 11th Division was dismantled, if the 11th Division is here, why should I be so careful? Maybe you're already drinking in Jiamusi right now. ”
"How about the Eighth Border Garrison? The 11th Division was tossed by him. Several squadrons were assigned to the 63rd Wing, and now six more infantry squadrons have been transferred to replace the 8th Division to support the 63rd Wing, and even the three squadrons remaining in Mishan have also been transferred by him to eliminate those so-called saboteurs. The strength of the 11th Division is now almost a full wing, not to mention the lack of troops, but the replenishment of troops has been delayed. ”
"The Eighth National Border Garrison has a brigade and regimental structure, and some of the personnel are transferred to strengthen the 11th Division, also for operational considerations. I don't want to follow in the footsteps of Machijiri and Jiro Togawa, the division was dismantled and used by this army commander, and the opponents were broken by each one, not to mention, and I ended up with a life and death unknown. ”
"Lieutenant General Shigeichi Harata has not yet figured out the difference between fighting against the Manchurian forces and fighting against the government forces in Kannaichina. The Kannechina government army was weak in firepower, and although most of the army was determined to fight against the imperial army, it was internally discordant and had many factions. In the midst of warfare, there are always factions tearing each other down. ”
"And in the so-called Chinese army, the vigilance between the central army and the so-called miscellaneous local army is also very heavy. The ability to match each other in combat is also poor. It was difficult for the so-called miscellaneous commanders from the local army to command the central army, and the local miscellaneous army had to fight the imperial army on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to be vigilant not to be swallowed up by their central army. ”
"This has created numerous problems in the command of the government forces in China, and even in the same battlefield, they have to lift each other up. There were many death-defying incidents between the central army and the local army in China, which was unimaginable in the imperial army. The most important thing is that the training of the government army in China is very problematic, and the tactics are too rigid. ”
"And our current opponent is completely different from the opponents that the Imperial Army has encountered in the past. Not only is it well-trained and tenacious, but it also has strong firepower and cooperates with each other very tacitly. This is all very different from the government army in China. Lieutenant General Shigeichi Harata is still looking at people with old eyes, looking at this anti-Manchurian armed force with the eyes of the government army in China, and he can only suffer the loss. ”
"Lieutenant General Shigeichi Harata still thinks that this is the year before last, when he defeated several divisions of the Chinese government army with the strength of a brigade in the Battle of Wuhan, and he was majestic? Now give him another brigade of troops to fight the opponent in front of him alone? He can still play a record of three or eight years, and I immediately apologize to him. ”
"Now perhaps the other side is concentrating their forces on the southern front, waiting for the 11th Division to get into the pockets they have designed. With no troops in the rear left, I would have followed his plan. If it is not done well, the 11th Division will repeat the mistakes of the 6th Division. ”
Judging from the current progress of the battle, he Shigeichi Harata is good at attacking, and he is only a false name. The 6th Division was completely annihilated, the main force of the 10th Division was completely lost, and only one 63rd Wing was left, which was also in a dilemma. If he continues to fight according to his experience, the 11th Division will have bad luck sooner or later. ”
Speaking of this, Ushijima waved his hand indifferently to stop the righteous man who wanted to say something: "Anyway, his plan is to defeat the opponent, we just need to achieve this goal." As for how the 11th Division should fight, he Lieutenant General Shigeichi Harata should not participate. Anyway, as long as the goal is achieved, he Hakuda Shigeichi can't find any fault. ”
"As long as we can take Jiamusi before the main force of the opponent attracted by the 29th Division turns around, we will win this battle. As for other things, put aside what should be put aside. Seriously, don't worry too much. As an emperor, you must arrange tactics according to the shape of the exhibition, but you can't just rigidly implement the orders of your superiors. ”
Hearing these words from the division commander's mouth, which was obviously not very respectful to Harata Shigeichi, he knew that the division commander and Lieutenant General Hakata Shigeichi had a knot, so he did not continue to persuade him. He knew that the commander of his division was quite a crazy character, and the more he persuaded him, the more stubborn he became.
However, when it comes to the knot between Mitsuru Ushijima and Shigeichi Hatada, this cannot but talk about the position of commander of the Fifth Army. If the commander of the Fifth Army was still Lieutenant General Dohihara, Ushijima would naturally not and would not dare to despise this old man so much.
However, for Ushijima Mitsuru, at the beginning of the all-out war between China and Japan, even the year before last, he was the same brigade commander as himself, and he had been working the battlefield in Central China, and now he has climbed above him and become his top boss.
I think that when Lieutenant General Ushijima was the commander of the 36th Brigade of the Sixth Division, he was also quite majestic. First, he led his brigade and regiment all the way to Shanghai and Nanjing, and then commanded his brigade and regiment in the so-called Battle of Wuhan of the China Army, quickly interspersed, and cut off the retreat of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Fifth War Zone of China in one fell swoop. Although he did not eat the opponent because of the lack of troops, he captured the only artillery brigade of the 5th theater of operations of the Chinese Army.
Also in the Battle of Wuhan, he was outstanding, but Shigeichi Hauda rose step by step. From the brigade formation, the commander of the Lieutenant General Detachment of the Hata Detachment was promoted to the commander of the 19th Division. In less than a year, he succeeded Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara and served as the commander of the Fifth Army, the most important army of the Kwantung Army and the largest number of subordinate divisions.
After the Battle of Wuhan, he was transferred back to China to serve as a non-commissioned officer in the 6th Army Preparatory School. First as an officer, then as a principal. Although he was also promoted to lieutenant general, he dealt with a group of fanatical hairy heads all day long, and he was not directly promoted to the division commander.
If you want to say that you haven't got a division commander, but you are transferred to the 6th Army Non-commissioned Officer School, the base camp of the Japanese army to train officers, as the principal, Ushijima Mitsuru should not be disdainful of the position of a division commander. But the key is that there is a preparatory department in front of his non-commissioned officer school, which is just a branch of the serious non-commissioned officer school. Even if he is the director of two schools part-time, it is still not comparable with the position of the director of the 6 Corps Non-commissioned Officer School.
What made Ushijima even more unconvinced was that at the end of last year, when Ushijima was transferred to the commander of the 11th Division, he had been sitting in the position of commander of the 19th Division for more than half a year, and at the beginning of this year, he was promoted to lieutenant general commander of the Fifth Army on the opportunity of the expansion of the Kwantung Army. The smooth career made Ushijima's eyes red, and he was almost going crazy.
You must know that compared with the divisional and regimental-level combat units that are constantly expanding at present, how many corps-level establishments does the Imperial Japanese Army have? He thought that his ability and talent were not inferior to Shigeichi Hata, but he could only become one of the commanders of many divisions under the Fifth Army, which made it difficult for Ushijima to accept. Although he didn't say it, Ushijima was secretly unconvinced in his heart. This is naturally clear as his chief of staff.
The reason why Ushijima made a surprise attack this time was that he did not follow the army commander and when the Eighth Division was unable to restore its combat effectiveness for a long time, in accordance with the request of Lieutenant General Shigeichi Hata, he transferred the strength of the main six brigades to replace the Eighth Division. Instead, he personally led the main force of the division to the north with all his might, trying to take a surprise attack on Jiamusi from the direction of Baoqing. In addition to wanting to change the overall passive battle situation at the moment, there is no intention to express himself to the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the Tokyo Base Camp.
As the chief of staff of the division, he is very serious and righteous, and he is very able to put himself in the right position. The previous persuasion was just out of the obligation of being a staff member. As for whether to listen or not, in Ushijima Manchu will be himself. Now that everything that should be said has been said, other serious Dazuo who has always kept his duty will not say one more word.
After he greatly belittled his superiors in front of his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Ushijima, who was in a much better mood, was quite dissatisfied with the slow progress of the battle on the Jinshagang front line and the failure of the attacking troops to break through the defense of the opponents on the Jinshagang line.
After a big breath of evil in his heart, Ushijima Man is now dissatisfied with the aggressiveness of his subordinates. Lieutenant General Ushijima turned his head to the righteous ** Zuo and said: "Serious Jun, you send a telegram to the captain of the 12th Wing, Tahoda Daisa, urging the progress of the 12th Wing."
"His 12th Wing, with the fire support of the main artillery force of the division, has been attacking for five or six hours, but it has still not broken through the Jinshagang line. If his Twelfth Wing can't make progress, I wouldn't mind replacing his Twelfth Wing with Forty-Three. Let Kiyoshi Aoyama take over his command. ”
