Chapter 297 Opportunity for a decisive battle (2)

Speaking of which, Yamashita Tomoto, who is already fifty-three years old, is not a young lieutenant general, but the difference between him and ordinary division commanders is that he has always served in civilian positions before, and it was not until 1 year that he was the corps commander of the Third Infantry Regiment of the Army for the first time.

At that time, Fengwen Yamashita, who served as a field force for the first time, was about 170 cm tall and weighed 90 kilograms, which was the same as the 37mm caliber eleventh-type flat-fired infantry cannon made by Japan. During the exercise, a horse could not bear his weight, so there must be a replacement horse. At that time, the eleventh-type infantry cannon was transported by two horses, so the infantry cannon became Yamashita's original nickname.

〖Japanese〗The necessary conditions for the success of the army soldiers in China are education, ability, boudoir, and military appearance. All of this is not lacking in Yamashita Tomofuri. As for the boudoir, Yamashita Tomofuri's wife is the eldest daughter of Major General Nagato Motohiko, who was born in Sachu Prefecture. This marriage has led to his inheritance from the imperial sects such as the former General Taro Utsunomiya, Shisaburo Masaki, and Lieutenant General Araki Sabuo.

When the smoke of gunpowder in the Rehe War was not over, the Kwantung Army suffered heavy losses and a large number of generals were scolded, Yamashita Fengwen was transferred to the position of the Military Section of the Provincial Military Affairs Bureau of the Army, which is a very important position. In the Japanese Army system, there are two main lines of officers' success, one is the Military Affairs Bureau, namely the Military Affairs Bureau, and the other is the Military Order Bureau, which is the General Staff Headquarters. The first goal in the military and political aspects is the Military Section Chief, and the Military Order Department is the Operations Section Chief, and then promoted to the Military Affairs Bureau and the Operations Minister. It is precisely because of the importance of the position of Military Section Chief, it has certain risks and will naturally be involved in factional struggles.

It was in this position that Yamashita Tomoto gradually became the main powerful figure of the Imperial Taoist sect after the leaders of the Imperial Taoist sect, Sadao Araki and Shikishisaburo, under the care of his old friends.

2. After the 26th Incident, the Japanese Army immediately began to force the implementation of a large-scale military suffrage. The Imperial Dojo Sect was unprecedentedly cleaned, and Sadao Araki, Shinsaburo Masaki and others were all removed from their military staff positions. The Kanto Army commander Minamijiro waited for the two generals, the chief military officer, Honjo Shin-kun, to be incorporated into the reserve. The Japanese Army made unprecedented transfers to nearly 3,000 officers.

As a spiritual figure in the army, Teraunuchi naturally disliked Yamashita Tomoto, who almost had the opportunity to serve as the chief of staff of the North China Front Army. So, taking advantage of the opportunity to adjust the troops to supplement the organization, he kicked Yamashita Tomoto from the North China Front Army into the Kwantung Army. As a result, Yamashita Tomoto, who died in the Kwantung Army, happened to catch up with the promotion assessment, because his 40th Brigade had made great achievements in participating in Shanxi wars before, and thus met the last hard standard "Lieutenant General" for serving as the commander of the front army! It can be said that Yamashita Tomoto relied on nepotism, which annoyed Tani Shouo and Kenji Doihara, who were ashamed of nepotism, were very angry.

Kenyoshi Ueda re-changed the seats, and the three front commanders sat in the third, fourth and fifth positions of Kenyoshi Ueda. In this regard, I am quite particular about what position to do and what to say! It is like eating that dish first and then eating that dish!
