For Hattori Takushiro asked himself to expand the search range of the cavalry wing by fifty kilometers. Toji Yasui didn't buy it very much. What if the opponent just detours back to his flank? I'm not the stupid guy at all, and as soon as I came up, I let my family play with a team. Storming the general's stone line, a wing was half-crippled again. Another wing was dragged into the swamp and starved half to death.

Later, when the opponent adopted roundabout tactics and launched a counterattack on the whole front, the 24th Division, which had strengthened one wing, was actually left with only one 14th Wing at hand. His own command was even more defeated at the first time, causing the remaining remnants of the army to lose their unified command, and they could only fight separately and let each family break it.

He put three wings in the middle of the main attack, and one wing dragged behind, although the progress was a little slower, but it would not leave the opponent with an opportunity to take advantage of. Let yourself let the Second Cavalry Wing go out fifty kilometers, once something abnormalities occur in the Second Cavalry Wing, won't you even have a chance to rescue?

Looking at Yasui Fujiji's uncertain face although he did not express direct refusal, Hattori Takushiro, who understood that His Excellency the lieutenant general did not agree with his idea, frowned and said: "Lieutenant General Yasui, don't you think that it is very challenging to use a cavalry wing to verify whether the opponent is currently fighting separately or still has a situation of unified command?" ”

"Your Excellency Yasui, as the commander of the Harbin garrison when these people broke through from the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply last year, you should not be unaware of the Emperor's urgency to exterminate these people as much as possible. If the information provided by the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army is true, the supreme commander of the opponent has lost the ability to command, and your second division can not take the opportunity to break through each side and establish this immortal feat for His Majesty the Emperor? ”

"Are you just unwilling to let your cavalry wing take the risk of not necessarily saving it, and watch the great fighter plane slip away in your hands? Aren't you worried that the Emperor and the Tokyo Base Camp will hold you accountable for delaying the fighter plane? I have heard that the Tokyo base camp has decided to remove Lieutenant General Ogisu from his post as commander of the Sixth Army, and that Lieutenant General Yasui is the first person to succeed him as commander. ”

Since Hattori Takushiro dared to plot with several staff officers of the Kwantung Army Staff Department to expand the conflict in Nomenhan and push the 23rd Division of the Kwantung Army into the fire pit, he naturally did not care about the dignity of a lieutenant general's division commander. His words were very tactful, but there were only three points of persuasion in his tone, and seven points could be said to be threats.

The meaning of Hattori Takushiro's words was heard by Toji Yasui. Yasui Toji was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that a staff officer with a military rank in front of him who was just a lieutenant commander dared to threaten a lieutenant general. But he knew that although this guy's military rank was only a lieutenant, his position was just a staff officer. But the connections are very wide, and the deep value of General Umezu Mijiro.

Otherwise, Senior General Umezu Mijiro would not have left Geno Nakayama, who had succeeded him as the chief operational staff officer of the Kwantung Army, and withheld the order from the Tokyo base camp to transfer this guy, and continued to keep him in such an important position as the chief operational staff officer of the Kwantung Army.

As long as this guy says a few bad things about himself in front of General Umezu Mijiro before he is promoted, and changes General Umezu Mijiro's impression of himself, then he will really bring himself a lot of trouble. If General Umezu Mijiro resolutely objected, the position of commander of the army that he had already acquired would probably become a duck that flew away after cooking.

After hesitating for a long time, Yasui Fujiji finally couldn't resist the extremely tempting desire to be promoted to general, and nodded slightly. Reluctantly agreed, the guy expanded the search distance of the cavalry wing to fifty kilometers to Jiany.

Seeing that Toji Yasui nodded, Takushiro Hattori breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that this guy was as soft and hard as the commander of the Fourth Division, Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, and he didn't know how to lift. No matter how coercive and tempting he was, he refused to spit out and sent troops without a written order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

Of course, Hattori Takushiro, who is familiar with the personalities of these Osaka soldiers of the Fourth Division, will never let these Osaka soldiers go to the front line, and when the time comes, not only will they not be able to become helpers, but they will involve others. After the battle of Qunce Mountain, the fate of the 33rd Wing of the 11th Division has been vividly proven to be a partner with the Osaka soldiers, which is definitely not a good thing.

According to Hattori's plan, the 4th Division's dispatch was just a bluff to attract the enemy's attention and distract him. really let the Fourth Division go to the front line to rush and kill, and his Hattori Zhuo Shiro was not stupid enough to be that Cheng dù. Not to mention the loss of heart.

Looking at the habitual sinister smile on Hattori Takushiro's face after he nodded, Toji Yasui sighed slightly, and secretly admired the courage of General Umezu Mijiro in his heart. General Umezu Mijiro actually dared to use this bold man, and there was no master in the world who he did not dare to do, and continued to serve as the chief combat staff officer of the Kwantung Army. He even secretly competed with the Tokyo General Staff Headquarters, and forced the successor to dry aside and drink the northwest wind.

General Umezu Mijiro only saw that his predecessor, General Kenkichi Ueda, was unlucky. First of all, a powerful anti-Manchurian and anti-Japanese armed forces suddenly emerged in Manchuria, and the eyes of the emperor and the army were not counted by the Ministry of Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply. He also lost the Kwantung Army's largest warehouse in Manchuria and had a large amount of baggage in preparation for the future war between Japan and the Soviet Union.

Then, regardless of his own strength, he provoked a conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union in Normenhan without authorization, and he had to come to the door to find a draw. As a result, he was beaten by others, not to mention, and his face was swollen. It was these two major events that occurred one after another that led to the eventual ouster of Senior General Kenkichi Ueda.

didn't know that in fact, at least half of the basket behind this qiē was provoked by two people. One is the resolute northward advance faction in front of him, who has always advocated the expansion of the war against the Soviet Union. He caused trouble in Nomenhan, but he didn't care about wiping his ass, causing the commander of the Kwantung Army and the chief of staff to carry the black pot for him.

The other was the senior operational staff officer of the Kwantung Army, who was later known as the scourge of senior officers of the Japanese army. After the defeat in the Battle of Normenhan, he was kicked by General Umezu Mijiro to serve as a member of the headquarters of the 11th Army, and was known as the bold Masanobu Tsuji who could poke the sky into a hole.

One of these two men was the chief operational staff officer of the Kwantung Army, and most of the Kwantung Army's plans to purge the anti-Manchu forces that were now fighting against him came from his hands. As a result, several encirclement and suppression failed, and General Ueda Kenkichi fell into blood mold, and his half-life honor was ruined.

Ignoring his position as only a senior operational staff officer of the Kwantung Army, the other had the audacity to issue the "Outline for the Handling of the Manchu-Soviet Border" behind the back of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, single-handedly provoked and insisted on expanding the Battle of Normenhan.

Senior General Kenkichi Ueda can be said to be unlucky for these two people. As a result, the battle of Normenheim was only half fought, and he was forced to leave his post. And these two guys don't have a. One was only transferred to the 11th Army on the Kannai China battlefield as a member of the headquarters, and the other was even regarded as a right-hand man by the successor General Umezu Mijiro.

This ending makes Fujiji Yasui, who is an old man of the Kwantung Army and knows the ins and outs of the whole incident very well, feel embarrassed and sigh? It's just that the guy in front of him, who is the two commanders of the Kwantung Army, can he complete and achieve the result that General Umezu Mijiro wants? No matter how Toji Yasui looks, he doesn't think it's possible.

Although he reluctantly agreed to this guy's request, Lieutenant General Yasui Toji secretly became wary of this unashamed guy. The promotion is imminent, and Lieutenant General Toji Yasui, who has a bright future, does not want to repeat the mistake of Taro Komatsubara, who was almost half dead by these two guys.

Regarding Yasui Fujiji's attitude, Takushiro Hattori didn't care. In his opinion, as long as his goal is achieved, it doesn't matter whether the executor is willing. The key is to achieve your goals.

It's just that the search results of the Second Cavalry Wing disappointed him, and after three days of searching, there was not even a ghost shadow within a radius of fifty kilometers around. Nothing was found. On the contrary, after several days of tossing and turning, patrolling within 50 kilometers around the main force of the division and regiment day and night, the Second Cavalry Wing could not stand it.

Although fifty kilometers is only an hour's distance for a car, it is very exhausting for a war horse. What's more, this fifty kilometers is only a straight-line distance, but the terrain is not set according to the straight-line distance. After a few days, the Second Cavalry Wing was tossed with people and horses, and there were many complaints. Not only people can't stand it, but even war horses can't stand it.

Three days later, whether Hattori Takushiro wanted it or not, Toji Yasui was faced with the fact that the Second Cavalry Wing was almost paralyzed, and decisively ordered an end to what he considered to be a futile move.

Toji Yasui not only terminated the search distance of the 2nd Cavalry Wing of 50 kilometers, but also compressed the original 30 kilometers in a straight line to 20 kilometers. In order to restore the vitality of the 2nd Cavalry Wing. As for whether Hattori Takushiro is happy or not, he Yasui Fujiji can't care about it.

After learning that Fujiji Yasui had terminated his previous reluctantly agreed to his request, Hattori Takushiro, who was half angry, although he hated to death, did not hesitate to quarrel with Fujiji Yasui on the following crimes, but he couldn't change the reality.

Fujiji Yasui, who was also angry with his almost rude attitude, coldly dropped a sentence I am the commander of the second division. What is the combat method of the Second Division, it is not your turn to say that it is the operational staff officer of the director of the Kwantung Army, who has already stepped down, so I will not pay attention to him.

Hattori Takushiro, who was not lightly angry with Hattori Takushiro, who was not lightly accused of pointing at Yasui Fujijiro's nose and scolding him for being short-sighted, had nothing to do except point at Yasui Fujiji's nose and scold him for being short-sighted, after all, he was the dignified lieutenant general division commander, and he was just a small lieutenant general.

But angry is angry, but whether it is Yasui Toji or everyone in the second division, they have to admire this guy's thick skin. Although after the quarrel, the attitude of the second division, including Yasui Fujiji, towards him was not good, and it could even be said that he was politely cold, but this guy just didn't move, and stayed at the headquarters of the second division and didn't leave.

Although Yasui Fujiji terminated Hattori's plan, it did not mean that he gave up on a frontal attack. Even at the height of his quarrel with Takushiro Hattori, his frontal attacks did not slacken a little. Even the intensity of the attack has a tendency to increase as the war progresses.

And the second division under his command was also strong enough, and its skillful techniques and tactics under the cover of ground-air firepower, extremely proficient infantry and artillery combined tactics, and even excellent individual combat elements brought more and more pressure and casualties to Liu Changshun.

In the face of the rising casualty figures, after three days of blockade, Liu Changshun couldn't sit still. According to this casualty figure, it will not take a few days for his second brigade to be killed and wounded into embers, and it will be an empty shelf.

After Guo Bingxun refused to ask for reinforcements or remove the reinforced, Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming in the headquarters of the Second Brigade were relatively speechless, smoking in annoyance. Ma Chunsheng, chief of staff of the Second Brigade, was still supervising the battle at the frontline at this time, and had not yet returned, leaving Liu Changshun and Wang Xiaoming in the command headquarters.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Changshun stood up and pounced on the dust kicked up by the shells of his headquarters hit by the Japanese army, and said to Wang Xiaoming, who was obviously a little bored: "Lao Wang, what do you think about the political commissar and the chief of staff?" Even if we are not allowed to retreat, we will not send reinforcements up. Let us fight hard in this place where Ma Pingchuan is fighting. ”

"If we continue to fight like this, it won't take two days for our second brigade to run out. Didn't he know that we were facing the Japanese army, not a single wing, let alone a brigade, but a whole division and four wings. Regardless of the strength and firepower, we are at an absolute disadvantage. ”

"You can hear that the bombs and shells that fell on our heads have not stopped since the Japanese launched their attack and it has been close to dusk. On this day, there were more than 100 rounds of bombs just around our headquarters that was well concealed, and there were more of them on this forward position? ”

"There are no mountains here, and there are no natural barriers other than this hill. When Wang Guangyu blocked the 24th Division here a few days ago, didn't he withdraw with a single shot? Why do we have to fight to the death here? When the commander was here, we didn't fight such a breath-holding battle. ”
