Chapter 59: Jehol Crisis (1)
Chapter 59: Rehe is in crisis (I)
In the office of the Kanto Army Commander and Ambassador to Manchuria Director Kanto on the third floor on the south side of the main building of the Kanto Army Command in Changchun, General Muto Nobuyo, who had a European-style guard beard but was extremely neatly trimmed, was standing in front of the Makoto Matsu of the First Jung. As the successor of Honjo Shin, Muto Nobuyoshi's appointment at this moment obviously had a bit of a fruit picking. As one of the driving forces of the Manchuria Incident, Lieutenant General Honjo Shinto, Major General Miyake Miyake, Colonel Seishiro Itagaki, Kanir Ishihara Kanir Nakasa, Major Hanaya Masato and many others have become jealous beneficiaries.
However, as a meritorious minister, Honjo Shin------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the few remaining generals in the Taisho era, Muto Nobuyi was a great achievement. He served as the highest commander of the Siberian Strategic Army during World War I. It can be said that the first thing Muto Nobuyi saw after taking office was to stop all the strategic deployments of his ex-天天天.
Muto Nobuyi was very clear about his physical condition. He still remembered the gift from Emperor Hirohito before he set out. How would an imperial soldier establish a military honor? I am afraid that the only way to pass is war! Muto Nobuyi looked at the Manchuria map, which had been included in the map. This is the new version of the map of the Kwantung Army Surveying and Mapping Department. It is said that the domestic staff headquarters and the military province have been archived. So the implication is that he can let it go?
With the report from the adjutant Nomura, Muto Nobuyi sorted out his thoughts and nodded, "What's the matter?"
Nomura stood up and said: "Chief of Staff Koiki Aki and Deputy Chief of Staff Okamura Nagaji ask for a meeting!"
Muto Nobuyi returned to his seat and nodded slightly. Nomura hurriedly turned his body and said, "Please, please come from inside!"
Koiki Aki, who was wearing a straight military uniform and leather boots, and Okamura Nishiji bowed to Muto Nobuyi with a samurai knife in his hand. It was not normal that Gu Guan Jin saw Shangguan adopting military salutes. Muto Nobuyi was not angry but said happily: "Koi Kwan, you are still so polite, don't be so polite. I have already seen the plan for the Manchuria Suppression and Punishment you submitted. It's very good! Please sit down!"
Koiki Aki, who was transferred from the Director of the Interior of the General Staff to be the Chief of Staff of the Kanto Army, stood attentively and nodded slightly and said, "This is the result of the entire General Staff. Okamura Jun has also made great contributions. The subordinates dare not make the contribution alone!"
Muto Nobuyoshi smiled and said, "That's why you, the chief of staff, are good at leading the way, so don't be humble!"
As he said that, Muto Nobuyoshi stood up and looked up and down, Okamura Nishi, who looked very smart and serious, said: "Well! Okamura is young and promising! When I was at your age, I couldn't imagine a major general. In an old Chinese saying, this is called "The Yangtze River's New Waves pushing the previous waves". This time, you can transfer the troops from Shanghai to my Kwantung Army. I hope you will continue to work hard."
Okamura Yanji hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I will definitely not let down the commander's high hopes, and I will do my best to achieve the prosperity of the Manchus and Mongolia!"
Koiki Aki glanced at Okamura Nagaji beside him with some jealousy. It can be said that the Kanto Army had no position as deputy chief of staff before this. This position was tailor-made for Okamura Nagamaru Nagamaru. As a covenant with Nagata Tetsuyama and Toshiro Obata, the three of them vowed to defeat the backbone of the Chushu clan, Yoshiichi Tanaka, who supported the crown prince ascended the throne. Okamura Nagaji can be said to have risen to the top. Maybe he will be the next chief of staff in the future? The 48-year-old lieutenant general has a bright future!
However, as the head of the military affairs bureau, Koiki Aki knew better that the military officers of Okamura Nakajima and others who also served Emperor Hirohito were the military officers of Berlin, the military officers of Berlin, the military officers of Berlin, the military officers of Yamashita, the military officers of Copenhagen, the military officers of Nakamura, the military officers of Nakajima, the military officers of Cologne, the military officers of Harbin, the military officers of Matsui Ishio, the military officers of Beijing, and the Hideki Tojo who was watching outside the door of the steam bath in Baden-Baden, the steam officers of Baden-Baden, the military officers of a total of eleven people!
Muto Nobuyi looked at Okamura's neat soldier style and nodded with satisfaction: "After I took office as the commander of the Kanto Army, I have been worried about the public security situation in Manchuria. Do you know what foreign newspapers say about Manchuria? It is said that there is no road in the Manchuria Japanese royal family that is safe? No place will not be attacked?"
Wuto Nobuyi picked up a stack of telegrams: "What kind of volunteer army, mountain forest team, is a group of rammed bandits. Just yesterday, more than 100 attacks occurred in Manchuria, and more than 500 officers and soldiers were injured? How many troops were we used to capture Manchuria? Now more than 500 casualties have been killed in just one day? Is Manchuria still under the control of my great Japanese royal family? Why are the bandits so rampant?"
Muto Nobuyi took the baton and came to the sand table indoors and said before: "Most of these bandits were supplied through the Rehe River, and then they flew in the three provinces of Liao, Ji and Hei, and broke up. When they withdrew from the reorganization, Rehe is the root of the disaster. While launching a clearance battle, our army must cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor's life in September on the integration of Japanese and Manchuria defense. Rehe belongs to Manchuria!"
Koiki Aki and Okamura Yanji looked at each other excitedly. The opportunity they had been longing for finally came! Muto Nobuyoshi used his baton to Yamashimaguan's location and said: "I have submitted a battle plan to the Ministry of Army and the General Staff Headquarters, and requested at least three divisions and two brigades and reinforcements from heavy artillery, tanks and aviation. Now I need the General Staff to come up with a complete set of combat plans in the near future, including the ultimate strategic purpose of occupying Rehe and threatening Pektsu, the allocation of railway capacity, the storage and reserve of logistics materials, and the repeated networking of large gangs in Manchuria during the Rehe campaign."
Koiki Aki and Okamura Neji stood attentively at the same time. Okamura Neji, who was full of confidence, was about to thank His Excellency Muto Nobuyoshi for giving him the trust, but suddenly found that the Chief of Staff Koiki Aki, who was standing beside him, had not yet expressed his opinion. Since Shangguan had not spoken, it was obviously very impolite to take the lead, so he hurriedly held back the words he said.
Koiki Aki, who was slightly satisfied with Okamura's expression, said aloud: "Please rest assured, Commander, please do your best!"
Muto Nobuyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good! The Imperial soldiers should have such a momentum. Before I took office, I always heard that the Kanto Army was arrogant and arrogant. After I arrived in Manchuria, I realized that this was not arrogant at all, but the slander of those timid rats. Only those who are truly capable will be arrogant and those mediocre people should feel shame. They should go to a caesarean section to avoid wasting the food and resources of the empire."
Muto's words were undoubtedly revealing a message to Koikami Akira and Okamura Yasuji, that is, you can do something big without any remarks to you.
Suddenly, Muto's words changed, and the baton in his hand hit Chengde's position and said: "According to the intelligence of the secret service, there is a unit equipped with German weapons in the Nanjing Central Army that is no less than the 87th Division, which is stationed in Rehe recently. Their number is the new First Division of the Army of the Republic of China. I want to hear what you two think?"
