Chapter 251: Persuasion
Yang Zhen's estimate was not wrong. The plane in which Sawada Shigeru was flying was shot down, and the previous division commander of the Fourth Division was accompanied by the explosion of the plane, and even the cremation was saved.
Kitano Takatsu Shaosa, not now Kitano Nakasa. The last time Yang Zhen attacked Jiamusi, this guy relied on his gang of vendors, although he lost almost all of Jiamusi, he was also forced to make a final resistance among several interconnected firepower points in the barracks.
At the beginning, Yang Zhen attacked Jiamusi not to occupy it, but only to mobilize the main force of the Japanese army. After the goal has been achieved, because of the lack of large-caliber direct-aim artillery, and does not want to pay too much senseless sacrifice, and takes the initiative to withdraw. But he didn't expect to fulfill this guy who almost lost his garrison area.
Although he almost lost the Japanese puppet officials in Jiamusi last time, he also caused Kenji Dohihara, the commander of the Fifth Army of the Kwantung Army who was in the city at the time, to flee in the wilderness. But after all, with absolutely inferior troops, they held the last position and did not lose it.
Under the powerful family activities behind him, and the operation of his colleagues and business partners, this guy who should have been severely punished by military law for leaving his post without permission was promoted to Zhongsa because of such a merit. He was also promoted to senior staff officer in charge of military appearance and discipline in the Fourth Division, which was not required to go to the battlefield.
It's just that his position seems to be quite good, but the job is very simple. is only responsible for the daily maintenance of Jiamusi's city fortifications, as well as the military discipline of the Fourth Division. As for other things, Sawada Shigeru didn't dare to put him in charge no matter what. Because Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada is too clear about his abilities.
Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada has long seen that the reason why this Kitano Takatsu was able to hold the last fortifications was not because of how good he was in battle, but because this guy's luck was super good, and the opponent took the initiative to withdraw. Otherwise, he was about to have a nervous breakdown at that time, and it would be hellish if he could keep it.
And Sawada Shigeru bets that this is when there is no way back when he is surrounded, so he forced this eye into the money eye, and the guy who doesn't recognize anything but money is desperate. If it were in a field situation, maybe this guy would be the first to slip away, just like he did in Ning'an.
Originally, in the eyes of Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, who was extremely dissatisfied with him, this guy not only lost almost the entire city, but also lost most of the troops left behind when he had strong fortifications to rely on. It is already very lenient not to order him to apologize to the emperor for his seppuku. As for promotion, don't even think about it.
But it can't stand that people have a good father, a family with strong pockets. On his side, he vetoed his promotion report, and the people over there directly found the Tokyo base camp and directly issued a promotion order.
If it weren't for Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada's resolute opposition, I'm afraid that this guy would have been directly designated by the Tokyo base camp as the commander of the Fourth Search Wing after the adjustment of the Fourth Cavalry Wing. It's just that under the strong pressure of the Tokyo base camp, even if Sawada Shigeru is unwilling, he can only find a guy who looks prominent, but in fact has no real power, and cannot affect the position of the troops.
After a few points of deliberation, Sawada Shigeru put this guy in the position of senior staff officer of Zhongzuo, who was in charge of military appearance and discipline. It's just that this operational staff officer was added on a temporary basis, and there are other senior staff officers who are really in charge of operations. The promotion of him to a senior staff officer of the Fourth Division is just the title of a senior staff officer.
Not even one other chief supervisor and staff officer, who was known as the first idle errand in the Japanese army, was not even given. Although his current military rank is one level higher than that of the chief supervising staff officer. Moreover, he was not transferred to the senior operational staff officer in charge of operations in a division or regiment or the deputy wing commander of a certain wing. Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru is extremely hot about this business, but he is a waste guy who fights a war and is really not at ease.
At this time, this guy who made Sawada Shigeru take great pains to find a suitable position, but because the officers of the division and regiment headquarters died and were injured, because of the highest rank, he was temporarily pushed to the command position. He was sitting in the office of Shigeru Sawada, who he would never dare to set foot in on weekdays. Scratching his hair in pain, he was filled with grief and indignation for what had happened to him: "Why am I so fucking unlucky, why am I again." ”
"It's not fair. Others stay in the big city, and I also stay in the big city. Why didn't there be any when others stayed behind, and why was it my turn to be blocked at home twice in a row and beaten. Guilty of a crime, Lao Tzu must have been born with this damn city. Otherwise, how could he be so unlucky, and he was blocked in one place twice in a row and beaten. ”
I complained for a long time, but I never came up with a way to escape. Kitano Takatsu walked to the window, and although he knew that there was little hope, he raised his binoculars to try to find a breakthrough route for himself. I just didn't know if I didn't look at it, but this look was a new discovery that I observed, and I was shocked.
When he saw the cannons with a caliber of at least 100 mm that appeared in the telescope, Kitano Takatsu Nakasa almost didn't scare out the heart attack, and his first thought was not to figure out how to face it, but that he was really going to be finished this time.
The building under him, no matter how sturdy it is, is just an ordinary office building. At most, this is an office building that is stronger than ordinary buildings and has a certain ability to resist blows.
There is no problem with being able to resist a few 75-mm mountain artillery shells, which are not very powerful, after all, they are used as the office of military organs. But whether it can withstand the direct fire of a 100-millimeter gun, this Kitano Takatsu Nakasa does not have this confidence.
He clearly saw the downing of the plane in which His Excellency the division commander was flying just now. Although I don't quite believe in the promise of His Excellency the division commander to bring in the rescue of the soldiers, it is still a hope after all, isn't it? But now the division commander has become a roast chicken, and the last glimmer of hope has been dashed with the explosion of the plane carrying His Excellency the division.
The current Kitano Takatsu doesn't know what to do at all. Hit, people have heavy artillery. Although he has a strong building to rely on, the power of this 100-millimeter gun is not something that ordinary buildings can resist.
The strength of the two squadrons is less than two squadrons, and this still includes all the sappers, baggage soldiers, all the staff officers in the division and regiment headquarters, and the men, horsemen, and other messy people. With such a small number of troops, how long can you hold out if you lose these two buildings as your last hiding place?
As for running, he shook his head and didn't even dare to think about it when he saw that there were people in the opposing army's uniforms everywhere outside the division headquarters that was almost surrounded by water.
Now Kitano Takatsu hates his current rank very much, and how much he wishes he could make a little second lieutenant now. I regret it even more, why did I have nothing to do and have enough to eat to get such an errand that I thought I wouldn't have to go to the battlefield again. If he still had soldiers with him, he would definitely not be trapped in the damn city of Jiamusi now.
Just when Kitano Takatsu Nakasa, who was almost helpless in the face of the current situation, complained bitterly about himself, the appearance of a person made him feel unusually happy.
However, this guy is not only a professionally trained Japanese army officer, but also a fairly qualified businessman. After calming down, he immediately understood that the purpose of coming to see him was definitely not simple. Didn't this guy run with his Hattori Nakasa to the front line of the Lianjiang Estuary, Major General Kobayashi? And with the Kobayashi detachment, was the jade broken? How could this already besieged headquarters of the 4th Division appear?
After hesitating for a long time, after looking at the black hole muzzles of the large-caliber guns pointed at him outside the window, and the pale faces of his subordinates after seeing the arrival of these guns, Kitano Takatsu still decided to meet his former and current army colleague, who is also a capable partner in the business field.
When the visitor was brought to him, he saw that the military rank and medal watch on the military uniform he was wearing in front of him had been taken off, and he was not wearing the saber that was the symbol of the Japanese army.
"Nomura Iwa, you are dressed like this, you can't come back after being a prisoner of those anti-Manchurian forces and want to persuade me to surrender, right? If so, I can answer you right now, the Empire has only soldiers who died in battle, and there are no soldiers who surrender and steal their lives. If you really have this in mind, I advise you to go back. For the sake of you and I growing up together, don't wait for me to impose military sanctions on you. ”
An icy attitude towards Kitano Takatsu. After being captured, when Chen Long, who had already pried open the mouths of other captured Japanese soldiers and learned of this guy's deep background, interrogated him alone, he said that as long as he could work for the Anti-Japanese Federation at an appropriate time in the future, he could be released. And help him hide the experience of being captured.
After listening to Chen Long's promise, he didn't even think about it, and decided to work for him on the spot, but he sat opposite Kitano Takatsu with an indifferent ass, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Kitano-kun, don't engage in those hypocritical and useless things in front of me." Which of the two of us doesn't know whom? Your words are better to fool the simple-minded guys of the Second Division. ”
"Kitano-kun, if you want to kill me, why wait until now? How the Empire treats captured Imperial soldiers, I know better than you know. If the commander here were a different person, I wouldn't dare come back. Because any other person will force me to apologize to the emperor. After the Battle of Normenheim, weren't all the captured officers who were exchanged back enjoy this treatment? ”
"But to be honest, if it weren't for you who are here today, I really wouldn't be back. It is precisely because you and I grew up together that I am here. Because I don't want to see my good buddies die in this desolate Beiman, not to mention that the bones can't return to their hometowns, and the huge family property will be cheap for those wild seeds. ”
Nomura Iwa really didn't lie in front of Long Chen. As a partner who grew up together with a similar family background, he knows Kitano Takatsu too well. The words in front don't matter, but the sentence in the back is really poked at Kitano Takatsu's soft underbelly.
Looking at Kitano Takatsu's even paler face after listening to his words, Nomura Iwa, who knew what he had said, smiled and said, "Kitano-kun, don't forget what the original intention of people like you and me was to join the army in the first place?" Don't talk to me about all the bullshit that is loyal to the emperor, you and I have worked hard for several years to climb out of the army non-commissioned officer school, not for that illusory remark. ”
"Compared with those children of officer families who are influenced by their family backgrounds, as well as those who are from poor ghosts who want to get ahead, our participation in the army is not only that our elders forced us to accept training, but also that our family made a statement to the military."
"You and I both know in our hearts that we are actually a pawn used by the family to win over the military, and in some ways we are just outcasts. You and I were kicked out of the army by the family, but the family behind us wanted to better establish a relationship with the military, so that we could get more share of military production and military engineering. ”
"We were kicked out of the Army, and we actually lost the possibility of being in charge of the family. No one would believe that a soldier who can only fight and kill can be a successful businessman. This kind of thing is not unheard of in your family. ”
"Isn't Kitano-kun's uncle also the same as Kitano-kun, after being sent out by the family to join the army, he lost the opportunity to take charge of the family's wealth not long after? Now that he is a major general, what is a mere major general compared to your family's huge wealth? ”
"After you Kitano-kun arrived in Manchuria, you made money by unscrupulous means, and even dragged the family of your division commander into the water, isn't it just to prove your own ability to your family? I know that Kitano-kun's mother's family is also strong, and based on the status of your mother's family, the chances of your father's wild breeds inheriting the family property are not very high. ”
"But Kitano-kun, don't forget jì, you also have a few brothers of the same mother. Not counting the wild seeds that your father left outside, there is only one brother and three younger brothers who are the same mother as you. These people are probably more popular in the eyes of your parents, and even in the eyes of your family. ”
"As far as I know, your brother, who graduated from Tokyo Imperial University, is probably already a candidate for the first heir in the hearts of your parents. If you hadn't had your uncle, the major general at the General Headquarters, speak for you, I'm afraid you would have been excluded from the list by now. ”
"Kitano-kun, you and I grew up together, although we are not brothers, but this relationship is closer than brothers. I'm not going to put it mildly, I'm afraid there is more than one person in your family who wants you to die on the battlefield right now. ”
"Otherwise, with the power of your Kitano family in Japan, it will not be easy to transfer you back to China, so why let you remain on this dangerous battlefield? With your family's current status in Japan, do you still need to go to the battlefield to fight and bring your family a chance to get ahead? ”
"Kitano-kun, look outside now, if you continue to fight, what kind of result will you be. They even brought in heavy artillery, how long can you resist? If you die, there will not be many people in your family who will shed tears for you. On the contrary, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of people who raise a glass to celebrate. ”
"Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru has been killed, and Jiamusi has lost the last chance to break out of the siege. And now the closest to Jiamusi, except for the detachment of the 11th Division, are all the troops of your 4th Division. You are from the 4th Division, do you think those colleagues of yours can reach Jiamusi before your whole army is exhausted? ”
"Now that you're dead in battle, what's in it for you? It's just a relief for those brothers of yours to lose a competing opponent. Kitano-kun, are you really so willing? Lay down your arms, that Manchurian is our opponent, but there is a good word for it. As long as people live, there will be hope. When you die, there's nothing left. ”
"Although you are a soldier, you are still a businessman at heart. In this form at the moment, I think you should understand what kind of choice is the best choice for you, Kitano-kun. ”
