When Kido Takanao and Akaka Rihachi rushed to the division headquarters of the Guards Division, they saw that the captains of the other two Guards Infantry Regiments had also arrived.
After the four people met, it was inevitable to exchange pleasantries.
Soon after, the captains of the cavalry, artillery, and baggage regiments also arrived.
The divisions of the Japanese army are divided into three levels: permanent, ad hoc and three-unit garrison divisions. The permanent divisions and ad hoc divisions have eight regiments with a strength of about 25,000 people. The garrison division has seven regiments. The number of troops is about 18,000. Some garrison divisions only have six regiments, and the number of troops is about 15,000.
But the Guards Division is an exception. The Guards Division has seventeen regiments under its jurisdiction, including four infantry regiments, three artillery regiments, three cavalry regiments, two railway regiments, and additional baggage troops. , engineering corps, telecommunications corps, meteorological corps, and anti-aircraft artillery regiments each, with a total strength of more than 50,000 people.
One Guards Division is as powerful as two permanent divisions!
Seventeen captains sat there, and the conference room immediately seemed a little crowded.
However, a few seats near the front of the conference table were still empty.
Those seats belong to the four brigade commanders, chiefs of staff, and division commanders.
"The division commander has arrived" With a loud shout from the guard, the conference room immediately fell silent.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of rapid and orderly footsteps sounded outside the conference room, and immediately after, six senior generals carrying generals filed in.
These six people are the division commander Shojiro Iida, the chief of staff Isamu Kinoshita, and the four brigade commanders below.
Seeing Shojiro Iida walk in, the seventeen regiment captains all stood up and bowed deeply to the division commander.
Iida Shojiro walked to the main seat and pressed his hands in vain. The seventeen captains stood up and sat down at the same time. Their bodies made heavy contact with the seats, making a squeaking sound.
Iida Shojiro did not sit down, but glanced at the faces of more than a dozen regiment captains with cold eyes, and said: "You must already know the news that the Guards Division is about to leave for the battlefield in China, right? If there is any need, I will tell you I won¡¯t say any more, I just want to mention one thing to you, so be sure to seize the time!¡±
"I only give you three days!"
"Three days later, at 7 a.m., each regiment must leave for the port on time. The navy's transport ship will be waiting there to transport you to Hangzhou!"
¡¡
In Shanghai, Hongqiao Airport runway.
A Douglas III transport plane taxied slowly on the runway of the airport.
Usami Taka and Hyuga Shiaki, who had been waiting aside for a long time, hurried forward to prepare to greet Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji, the new commander of the Thirteenth Army.
While walking, Hinata Shiaki glanced at Usami Taka.
It was found that there was no expression on Usami Taka's face, but Hinata Shiaki could still guess that his boss was definitely not in a good mood at this moment.
The reason is also very simple.
Because Usami Takashi failed to seize this precious opportunity, he failed to achieve a sufficiently outstanding performance in the first battle of Yinjiang under actual command.
In fact, Usami Takashi's performance in the Battle of Yinjiang was not outstanding, but rather poor.
But Hyuga Shiaki feels that this cannot be blamed on Usami Takashi, because his opponent is too powerful. Zhong Yi¡¯s opponent is really too powerful and difficult to deal with!
So, Hyuga Shiaki is both looking forward to and a little worried about the new commander who is about to take office.
Okamura Neji¡¯s military theoretical knowledge may not be richer than Usami Takashi¡¯s, and may even be slightly inferior, but his actual combat experience, especially the command experience in joint operations of large corps, is more than superior to him? Therefore, Okamura Neji versus Zhong Yi, Hyuga Shiaki believes that it is still worth looking forward to.
? said he was worried, Hyuga Shiaki was worried, Okamura Neji was not Zhong Yi¡¯s opponent.
Okamura Neiji is already the most capable of commanding large corps among the senior generals of the Japanese invaders. If even Okamura Neiji is not Zhong Yi's opponent, then he really can't think of anyone else who can be Zhong Yi's opponent? Therefore, once Okamura Neji also suffers under Zhong Yi, then Yinjiang will be a hard nut to crack.
Just when Hyuga Shiaki was thinking wildly, the Douglas transport plane stopped at the runway.
Then the cabin door opened, and then a straight-looking major officer appeared at the doormouth.
After confirming that there was no danger, the major officer stepped aside, and then a thin lieutenant general wearing big black-rimmed glasses appeared at the door of the cabin.
Usami Taka quickly took Hyuga Shiaki and took a step forward: "Your Excellency, Commander!"
The Japanese Lieutenant General who came down from the cabin door was none other than Neji Okamura.
After receiving the transfer order from the base camp, Okamura Neiji immediately took the transport plane of the 3rd Flight Group and flew directly to Shanghai. He couldn't even wait for Itagaki Seishiro to go to Wuhan to hand over.
"Usami-kun, we meet again."
Okamura Neji stepped off the plane, returned the greeting first, and then shook hands with Usami Taka vigorously.
Usami Takashi was a little surprised by Okamura Neji's enthusiasm, but he was also relieved.
Because before Okamura Neji arrived, Usami Takashi had always been worried that the other party would despise and treat him poorly because of the failure of the first Yinjiang Battle, but now it seems that he was overly worried.
After shaking hands with Usami Taka, Okamura Neji smiled and said to Hinata Shiaki: "Hyuga Shiaki, this time we can discuss joint operations."
Hinata Shiaki's face immediately showed an embarrassed look.
The last time Okamura Neiji visited the 13th Army Headquarters, Hyuga Shiaki once asked Okamura Neiji a few tricky questions in the name of discussion, but it really stumped Okamura Neiji.
Usami Taka hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I want to review it with you"
"Usami-kun, actually you don't need to explain anything." Before Usami could finish speaking, Okamura Neiji interrupted him and said, "There is nothing wrong with the tactics you adopted in the Zhejiang-Fujian Battle and the Yinjiang Battle. To be honest, even if I were in charge, the tactics adopted would not be much different."
After a pause, Okamura Neiji then said: "So you don't have to worry, I will relieve you of your command after I take office. In view of your performance in the first Zhejiang-Fujian Battle and the Yinjiang Battle, I I fully recognize your abilities, so you will still be actually responsible for commanding the next war."
Okamura Neiji¡¯s implication is that he is only responsible for decision-making and taking the blame, but the actual battle command is still in charge of Usami Takashi. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
