After Junroku took office, he did not rush to issue orders. Instead, he spent a whole day reviewing various previous battle report files. Moreover, Junroku's review of the battle report files was not a casual review, but had clear focus. x23us. com is the fastest updated
Junliu focused on reviewing the battle report files related to Xu Rui. Starting from the Battle of Wuxi to the Battle of Feicheng that just ended, Junliu spent a day reading them all over. It was not until about two o'clock in the night that he finally read them. It's over.
After reviewing the battle report files, Shunroku called Tsukada Gong and Nagayong to the office.
Shunroku, the commander, didn't even sleep. As the chief of staff and deputy commander, Tsukada Gong and Nagayu naturally didn't dare to sleep. They were always guarding the headquarters, so after hearing Shunroku's summons, the two of them quickly left together. Entered Junliu's office.
Seeing that Tsukada Gong and Changyong were a little nervous, Junroku stood up from behind the big table and greeted them with a smile: "Tsukada-san, and Changyong, you don't have to be nervous. The Imperial Army did not fight well before. It's entirely due to Shanshan Yuan's blind command, and it has nothing to do with you two."
After hearing Junroku's words, Tsukada Gong and Nagayong finally heaved a long sigh of relief.
Because, according to usual practice, the Central China Front lost the important military town of Feicheng, which put the Northbound Cluster in danger. Commander Shan Shanyuan was certainly to blame, but Tsukada Gong and Chang Yong were the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff. , are also jointly and severally liable.
Therefore, Tsukada Gong and Changyong are very worried. The first thing Junroku will do after taking office is to replace the two of them, but now it seems that Junroku has no such plan.
Junroku really had no such intention, because from the case files he reviewed, Tsukada Gong and Nagayong were fairly competent, and even Shanshan Yuan did not make any principled mistakes. The main problem still lies with Xu Rui. The opponent, or in other words, Shan Shanyuan did not pay enough attention to Xu Rui as an opponent, which ultimately led to consecutive defeats.
Shunroku signaled Tsukada Gong and Changyong to sit down, and asked the orderly to pour tea for them.
Then Junroku asked: "Tsukata-san, Chang-san, the northward cluster is in danger right now, and may be surrounded by the Chinese army at any time along the false Fuyang and Mengcheng lines. Therefore, I want to know if the Central China Front Army has any specific plans." Responses?"
Tsukada quickly stood up, paused and said: "Your Excellency, General, on the day Feicheng was lost, I had already ordered the Kikuchi Brigade stationed in Wuhu to go north. Judging from the time, the Kikuchi Brigade should have entered near Chaoxian County by now. In three days, we can almost reach Feicheng."
Chang Yong also stood up and continued: "In addition, the two infantry brigades of the Inaba Division have also crossed the Yangtze River from Xiaguan. They only need to wait for the 5th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade to arrive, and the Inaba Division will immediately Then we can march westward from Pukou and go straight into Damei Mountain area."
"Is this to besiege Wei and save Zhao?" Junliu asked.
"Hai, your Excellency, General, has learned a lesson." Chang Yong said, "Damei Mountain District is Xu Rui's home base. Inaba Division soldiers are pressing down on the border. Xu Rui realizes that his home base is in danger, so he will probably return troops from Feicheng to rescue him. In this way, The only remaining garrison in Feicheng is the so-called Wanzhong Advance Brigade, which is a newly formed force with little combat effectiveness."
"Yoshi." Junliu nodded happily, expressing satisfaction with the entire plan.
But Shunroku came with Hirohito's special mission this time.
Before leaving, Hirohito urged Junroku to eradicate Xu Rui first at all costs, so as to save the face of the imperial army and the royal family. In order to eradicate this dangerous enemy of Xu Rui, he must rely on Master Inaba. I am afraid that the regiment's frontal attack will not have very good practical effects.
If we want to eradicate Xu Rui, we may have to rely on special operations.
Shunroku asked again: "Tsukata-san, I heard that the Front Army Headquarters once had a special forces unit, and its founder was also an imperial elite who returned from studying at the Brandenburg Special Forces Training Camp in Germany, Okahara Shunsi. Colonel, I want to know, is this special force still there?"
"Hai." Tsukada paused and said, "Your Excellency, General, there was indeed such a force once. However, in the last mopping up operation in the Damei Mountains, Colonel Ogawara's special forces suffered a decisive blow. In the end, only three people survived the attack, and the rest were all shattered on the spot."
"Nani?" Shunliu's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said, "What about Colonel Okahara?"
Tsukada attacked: "Colonel Ogawara is not seriously injured, and he is at the headquarters right now."
"Yoshi." Junroku nodded happily and said, "Tsukada-san, please invite Okahara-san here immediately. I want to interview him about reorganizing the special forces."
Tsukada Gong looked at the clock on the wall and asked, "General, now?"
"Yes, now." Junliu didn't want to wait any longer, nodded and said, "Even if Oluhara-san has fallen asleep, we have to wake him up."
"Hai." Tsukada took the order.
Although it was already past two o'clock in the morning, Oluhara Junsi had not fallen asleep yet.
In fact, since returning to Nanjing from Feicheng, Okahara Junsi has not been in a good mood. Originally, he had reached an agreement with Kawaguchi Heiji. As long as the Kawaguchi detachment completed the mopping up operations, he could select elite veterans from the Kawaguchi detachment and form A true special forces unit.
However, fate is not as good as fate. Ogahara Junsi never expected that the Kawaguchi detachment would be completely wiped out at Dameishan. Even Kawaguchi Heiji himself was shattered on the spot. In this way, Kawaguchi Heiji's promise was in vain. Oluhara Junsi was even recalled to Nanjing and became idle.
Ogawara Junsi also thought about leaving the Chinese battlefield and returning to the Army Ministry to find a job. With his family background, it is not difficult to achieve this goal, but this is actually equivalent to running away in defeat. This is for the always proud young man. It was nothing less than a huge humiliation for Kahara Junsi, so he quickly gave up the idea.
What's more, his sister Junko is still in Damei Mountain. Before Junko is rescued, he will not leave China and return to Japan under any circumstances.
Because he was in a bad mood, Oluhara Junsi could only drink to drown his sorrows every day.
So when Tsukada Gong brought Ogahara Shunsi to Shunroku, Ogahara Shunsi was full of alcohol and was so drunk that he could hardly open his eyes.
Shunroku waved away Tsukada Gong and Chang-san, and then slapped Oluhara several times. After receiving these slaps, Oluhara finally came to his senses.
Seeing Junroku standing in front of him, Okahara Junsi quickly saluted: "Your Excellency, General!"
"So you can still recognize me?" Junliu said fiercely, "Look at you, you are full of alcohol, decadence and depression, how can you still have the slightest trace of what an emperor should be like? You are said to be an elite who has returned from studying abroad at the Brandenburg Special Forces Training Camp, but I think you are far inferior to even the privates of the Taiwan Garrison Brigade. It is a disgrace, it is simply a disgrace to the Imperial Army!"
"Hai!" Xiaoluyuan Shusi's face was full of shame, and he was completely awake.
"Have you finally woken up?" Junliu snorted, and then asked, "I heard that you once fought directly with Xu Rui, right?"
"Hai, I have faced Xu Rui three times on the battlefield, but..." Junsi Xiaoluhara lowered his head as he spoke, and said with a face full of shame, "But I have been defeated in all the battles, and I have been completely defeated. I can even say that I have a little bit of success." There is no chance, Xu Rui is the most terrifying opponent I have ever seen in my life."
"Failure is not terrible." Junliu waved his hand and continued, "Even if you fail ninety-nine times, as long as you can win the last time, you are the winner! But the problem is, you must have a strong will, otherwise We simply cannot bear ninety-nine consecutive defeats. If we cannot bear ninety-nine consecutive defeats, there will be no final counterattack!"
"Hai." Ogawara Junsi nodded heavily and said, "Your Majesty, General, has been disappointed by your humble position, but don't worry, General, from now on, I will not drink at all!"
Junliu nodded and asked again: "Oluhara-san, do you know why I called you here?"
"I don't know about this humble position." Ogawara Junsi shook his head honestly. He really didn't know why Junroku was looking for him. Two consecutive front army commanders were not interested in special operations, so he no longer had unrealistic illusions about Junroku. , because as far as he knew, Shunroku, like Matsui Iwane and Jisugimoto, were all traditional soldiers and were not interested in special operations theory.
Junroku asked again: "Oluhara-san, you really don't know?"
"Your Excellency, General, could it be that..." Xiaoluyuan Junsi immediately had unlimited expectations in his heart.
Junliu nodded happily and said: "Yes, I came to you today for one thing only, and that is to form a real special forces. I want your special forces to become a sharp weapon for the Imperial Japanese Army." The sharp knife is indestructible and indestructible!"
"Hai!" Oluhara Junsi said with a heavy pause, "Hold your position and never disgrace your destiny!"
Junroku asked again: "Okahara-san, how long will it take to build a real special forces?"
"Three months!" Oluhara Junsi nodded heavily and said, "Three months is enough."
"Okay, I'll give you six months." Junliu said, "Within six months, I will not assign any combat missions to your unit, but after six months, your unit must become An indestructible sharp knife. When the time comes, the first combat mission you have to complete is to hunt down Xu Rui, the leader of the Dameishan Independent Regiment!"
"Hai!" Oluhara Junsi said with a heavy pause, "General, as long as you give me enough time and enough soldiers to choose from, I will definitely personally present Xu Rui's head to the general in six months. In front of you, Your Excellency.”
"Yo Xi." Junliu nodded happily and added, "As for the sources of troops, as long as they are from the various units of the Central China Front Army, you can choose whatever you want! If anyone refuses to let go, you can ask him to come to me."
"Hai." Xiaoluyuan Junsi nodded heavily, feeling extremely proud in his heart. (To be continued...)
