Chapter 284(1/2)
The matter of recruiting troops on your own territory does not require Chiaki Shimo to go back to handle it.
It sent telegrams to the Japanese Army Base Camp and Prime Minister Kobaya at Yang Jiazhai, explaining the difficulties and solutions he encountered.
The Japanese Army Base Camp has suffered a much bigger blow in the past few days than the Shanghai Expeditionary Force Commander Ishione Matsui.
First, they shot down the airships of the military observation regiments of many countries in succession, and then the destruction of the Third Division.
The image of the Japanese army being invincible internationally shattered, and at the same time it also tore the mask of civilization that the Japanese Empire had carefully maintained in the world for decades.
The war between Fumima Konoe and Shanghai was also very troublesome: Why did the Japanese fight hard and the situation become like this?
I heard that the Chongteng Detachment had 10,000 infantrymen consumed it in one day, and the fire in its heart had long been born from the soles of its feet.
Now I have received a telegram from Shigefuji Chiaki. Shigefuji Chiaki did not shirk responsibility on the telegram, but just explained the situation on the battlefield in detail.
Then he proposed to supplement the recruitment direction of the troops, and also proposed to supplement the newly added teams, and the Japanese were the leader.
This plan made Prime Minister Fumima very satisfied: to let locals who were not people of the empire go to war.
The empire won the profits, and the place they had vacant was cleared out just by clearing the obstacles for the immigrants.
Kill two birds with one stone!
Captain Shigefune Chiaki Detachment's plan was quickly approved.
After receiving its telegram, Prime Minister Fumima Kome replied after thinking for less than ten minutes: "Agree to try it!"
It made a decision without even taking this matter out and discussing it.
In fact, for it: it is not a local thing, no matter how big it is, it is a small thing.
The Army Base Camp also had no delays at all, and it was approved.
For the Army Base Camp, although the war has just begun, there are still sufficient domestic supplementary troops.
However, the more you need to keep, the better.
At the same time, they are now increasingly disappointed with the Shanghai Expeditionary Force and are preparing to form a new army and send it to Shanghai.
If a new army is formed, the country's supplementary troops will need to recruit tens of thousands of people.
For them in newspapers, the Imperial Army has been victorious.
The conflict between the reports that have been victorious and the formation of a new army still needs a qualified explanation.
No matter what, the local reserve soldiers need to be used next.
With the approval from these two places, Captain Shigetoki Chiaki Detachment immediately sent a telegram back, allowing the left-behind Japanese to start recruiting troops immediately.
Considering the battlefield loss, the first recruitment of troops was to test the recruitment of 20,000 people.
This news made the millions of naturalized people under its rule excited, who had long been eager to do things for the Great Japanese Empire.
This finally gave them a glimmer of hope.
For decades, the Japanese have taught and promoted Japanese on this island, and only used Japanese to do things.
The naturalized people on this island have strongly seen a phenomenon: Japanese are superior to others, and only by gaining recognition from Japanese can they have a future.
Unfortunately, the Japanese have very strict management of these naturalized people and do not give them any chance at all.
These naturalized people have no chance to show their loyalty. Now this opportunity to show their loyalty is here.
The naturalized people on the entire island were all excited, and they all knew in their hearts that only 20,000 people were recruited, and the competition was very large.
The Chongteng Detachment had just arrived ashore from the Yang family house and lost two infantry regiments and tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers that day.
This news made Matsui Ishigen vomit blood in anger. It couldn't help but wonder if it was worth it if it came out of the hospital.
If the Infantry Navy Third Fleet is finished, they will be hospitalized for treatment.
The position of the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army has been replaced. In that case, the destruction of the Third Infantry Division, the severe damage of the 11th Infantry Division, and the severe damage of the Chongteng Detachment are not required to be responsible for it.
Now: all these responsibilities need to be borne by oneself.
Chief of Staff Harada Kumayoshi was his old friend. At this time, he also looked at Matsui Ishigen with a frown, and the two old Japanese looked at each other.
They don't know: how the situation suddenly turned out like this!
Where exactly is the problem?
Matsui Ishione was thinking.
There was laughter and joy in the Nanjing Military Commission.
Although the goal of completely annihilated the 11th Division of the Japanese, annihilation of 10,000 infantry soldiers of the Chongteng Detachment was enough to excite these commanders.
The Annihilation War ended around 10 o'clock in the evening.
The infantry divisions participating in the battle were not stationed on the spot, and they had to disperse and establish their own defense lines.
Now these soldiers were very excited and did not look tired at all.
Each of them was explaining in detail the situation in the battle just now to the brothers around them.
Everyone in the Nanjing Military Commissioner Operations Command breathed a sigh of relief.
The expected victory finally came, which made the Chairman very excited.
The situation on the battlefield today developed as he expected, once again proving his correctness.
He was not only happy to annihilate tens of thousands of Japanese devils at once.
The senior officers in the entire command were excited, and they were not simply happy.
Before this, they had fought wars with the Japanese: Why did they succeed so much today?
Whether successful tactics can be copied again is the issue that these senior commanders consider.
He Yingqin smiled and said, "The commission commander is in good condition. Today's battle is really beautiful, and it greatly enhances the prestige of the national army."
This time he sincerely expressed his respect to the Chairman.
The chairman laughed: "This is also the result of the lives of the soldiers on the front line.
I will send the order to commend the troops participating in the war today as follows:…”
There will be rewards when winning a battle, which is a must.
This time the Chairman's commendation was a bit strong, but none of the people present opposed it.
They were very clear: if the Japanese could not be driven out and the Japanese would really take over Shanghai, the losses of the Chinese army would not be as small as the rewards were given.
The soldiers on the front line who had not returned to the garrison were excited again when they heard the Chairman's commendation order.
The commander of the Yamata Tsubasa Division had already proposed to Matsui Ishien: "The Second Navy Air Force and the Third Air Force will all move to the south bank of the Yangtze River.
Coordinate to protect the last line of defense of the 11th Infantry Division.”
It believes that only naval naval guns can prevent the attack of national infantry.
When they landed in Chuanshakou and Lion Forest, they were protected by naval cannons and successfully landed.
Now it feels it's time to let the Navy move.
Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi this time surprisingly rejected Commander Matsui Ishione's order: the army was destroyed twice in a row, giving it a psychological shadow on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
In terms of the power of the naval gun, the main gun on the Izumo is the strongest, and the Izumo is also the most beating battleship.
It was sunk, and the rest of the warships were dispatched to die.
As for the main forces of the aviation team: fighter jets and bombers.
It has sent out two batches in the past two days, and the result is very disappointing: the number of planes it sends out will be lost.
Nothing survived!
Therefore, Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi no longer dared to send any troops to the battlefield on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
This made Matsui Ishien very embarrassed: the navy cannot be dispatched.
Only report to the Army Base Camp and let them coordinate with the Navy.
After hearing the reason Hasegawa Kiyoshi refused to execute the order, the Navy Base immediately agreed with its ideas.
He believed that Matsui Ishione wanted the second and third teams of Naval Airlines to be cannon fodder and refused to execute this order.
In this way, Commander Matsui Ishione could only find a way in the army.
The 9th Infantry Division needs to be transported to the front line as soon as possible.
Americans are willing to help with this, but they can only transport one light brigade at a time.
If there is heavy equipment, only one wing can be transported at a time.
Commander Matsui Ishione knew what Yamata Tsubu needed most: cannons and tanks!
It decided to send the artillery gang and the chariot squadron first, and the remaining capacity was sent to two infantry brigades.
This transport plan was jointly recognized by the 9th Infantry Division and the 11th Infantry Division.
Execute immediately!
The Ninth Division received an order to move upstream yesterday and was ready.
To be continued...
