Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    General Tanaka Shinichi, the commander of the Korean garrison in Japan, has been in the military for many years and is familiar with the ways of the world. He has always been sitting in the position of a feudal official and remains erect. He has controlled the Korean Peninsula for many years. Naturally, he is an old turtle who has climbed the sea and has seen the wind and waves.  How can people not know what Chief of Staff Kamiya means?

    The enemy is facing an urgent situation. As the chief of staff, Major General Kamiya actually questioned the decision of his immediate superior and said that it was inappropriate. Even if he spoke out, he was disobeying the order out of sincerity. The following is suspected of committing the crime. In terms of military discipline and  In terms of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, it is a very serious crime, enough to be dismissed from the post on the spot and sent to a military court.

    As soon as the words came out, Chief of Staff Kamiya also realized this serious problem and couldn't help but turned pale. Unexpectedly, General Tanaka didn't mind at all. He waved his hand and interrupted Chief of Staff Kamiya who was about to explain. He sighed and said  : "Kamiya-kun, there is no need to say more, just follow my order! Hurry, add this clause to the order. If the division commander relies on his seniority and military exploits and refuses to obey the command of the headquarters, it will cause delays.  Fighter, I will take his head with my own hands, and then I will apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"

    Chief of Staff Kamiya was stunned. Commander Tanaka, although there is no murderous word, is serious enough. According to the rules of the imperial army, a division commander is a first-level general, directly under the control of His Majesty the Emperor, and his superior is the commander of the army.  , and even the commander of the front army, do not have the power to deal with it. At most, they have the power to make suggestions. This has also caused commanders at the division commander level to frequently ignore orders from their superiors, disobey orders, and act on their own.

    "But what General Tanaka said just now broke this taboo and personally took off the head of a division commander. That was a position of commander of the North Korean garrison that carried great risks.  Just throw it away, and there is even a possibility that it will be put into another book and never be reused!

    Although he understood this, Chief of Staff Kamiya was not prepared to say anything more just now.  It was already a big crime, but Commander Tanaka didn't pursue it. If he made any more rude remarks, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

    "Hai! Your Excellency, Commander, I will immediately convey the Commander's orders to all divisions and dispatch senior staff officers from the staff. They rushed to Mokpo, Gwangju, and Busan to assist the local top commanders and implement your orders!" Kamiya  The chief of staff bowed deeply and said respectfully.

    General Tanaka had a smile on his face and nodded with satisfaction.  Said: "Yo Xi! Kamiya-kun, please, I can authorize the staff to send personnel to represent the headquarters to exercise their powers!"

    Chief of Staff Kamiya left in a hurry, with a smile on General Tanaka's face.  He suddenly dispersed and began to become gloomy. It was not that he was dissatisfied with Chief of Staff Kamiya's attitude just now, but that he knew that what Chief of Staff Kamiya said was correct and very correct. However, the development of the situation forced him to make such a decision.  Given enough time, this kind of order could easily cause internal strife among the imperial army.  It will never be issued.

    Although the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula has not yet begun on a large scale, the battle situation is treacherous and ever-changing. The commander of the offensive Southeast Mobile Corps, Ma Chaoyang, changed his battle deployment three times a day, and General Tanaka, who was on the defensive, changed his battle plan several times a day.  From defending the entire west coast of North Korea to abandoning the defense of important ports such as Incheon and concentrating troops on the southernmost front line of Mokpo, Gwangju, and Busan, and holding the troops north of Incheon, these were all improvised decisions.

    It was the independent division's troops crossing the sea to attack, divided into three groups, that forced General Tanaka to make such a decision. General Tanaka placed all his bets on this hand, as long as he held on to the southernmost bridgehead of the Korean Peninsula and waited for the mainland's attack.  When reinforcements arrive, they will have a chance to make a comeback. Otherwise, the independent division troops will divide the entire Korean Peninsula into three non-connected parts, and the nearly 200,000 troops stationed in the army will be defeated one by one.

    General Tanaka was stunned for a while, then picked up a red phone on the table, "I am Commander Tanaka, please connect me to the headquarters of the Third Air Force on Kyushu Island!" he said.

    A weak "chirp" sound of electricity came from the phone receiver. General Tanaka waited patiently. In just a minute or two, he was so upset that he subconsciously tapped the table with his fingers anxiously.  Her brows were lightly knitted together tightly.

    Finally, a message came from the other end of the phone, "Commander Tanaka, I am Kenjiro Kumamoto of the Third Air Force on Kyushu Island. If you have any orders, the Third Air Force will definitely obey the orders of the Commander!"

    Major General Kumamoto's statement made General Tanaka feel relieved. He knew that he had no affiliation with the Kyushu Island Third Air Force. The base camp was temporarily placed under his command. Besides, the Army Air Corps guys  , usually very arrogant, even if they disobey orders in person and come up with their own set of fighting methods, they are helpless. If they complain to the base camp, they will be wrangling for who knows how long?

    The so-called people respect me?Chi, I respect people as much as I can say good things and do things well. In the face of a powerful enemy, General Tanaka became more and more polite, "Kumamoto-kun, you are so polite. With Kumamoto-kun's Third Air Force, hundreds of Imperial War Eagles  I have a lot of confidence in defending against the Korean Peninsula!¡±

    On the other end of the phone, Major General Kumamoto chuckled, obviously very impressed by the compliment of a general-level official, "Kumamoto-kun, based on the reconnaissance information of your air force, can you judge how many more independent division troop carrier formations there are?"  How long will it take to reach any landing site on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula?" General Tanaka's tone suddenly became serious and heavy.

    Major General Kumamoto thought for a moment, and answered firmly in a professional tone: "Your Excellency, Commander, taking the Incheon Port as an example, in about four hours, China's offensive forces can launch an attack on the Incheon Port.  , If the landing location of the Chinese troops is Mokpo at the southernmost point on the west coast, it will only take less than three hours, and the western Korean Bay at the northernmost point will take more than six hours! "

    "Enough!" General Tanaka sighed inwardly. Kumamoto is a very knowledgeable guy. He answered all his questions in just a few words. "Kumamoto-kun, I leave you with the important task of severely damaging the independent division's landing force on the Mokpo front line."  Kumamoto-kun and the Third Air Force, remember, concentrate all the combat aircraft of our Third Air Force, attack all the way, and concentrate the attack on the independent division troops that are landing. There is a saying in the ancient Chinese military art, 'It is better to cut off all ten of the fingers than to hurt them.  With one finger, 'That's what I want from Mr. Kumamoto!"

    "We must not seek a fierce battle with the independent division aviation. The outcome of this battle on the Korean Peninsula depends entirely on Kumamoto-kun's performance! For the sake of the Empire of Japan, Tanaka looks forward to the good news of Kumamoto-kun's victory! When will the Third Air Force launch its attack?  , I don¡¯t make specific regulations, I prefer to trust Kumamoto-kun¡¯s commanding ability! ¡ª¡ªPlease!¡±

    General Tanaka's tone was heavy and sincere, and every word was spoken from the bottom of his heart. Moreover, his attitude was very clear. He said that he was going to fight the independent division troops that landed at Mokpo. As for how to fight, I, Tanaka, would not interfere. I would leave everything to you, Kenjiro Kumamoto.  Got it!

    Major General Kumamoto was greatly moved by General Tanaka's words and the way he lowered his dignity. He was most afraid that the supreme commander of the Imperial Korean Garrison would interfere in how the Third Air Force fought. A layman who was an expert in commanding, how to let himself,  How about it? Although I can disobey orders, but if the lawsuit reaches the base camp, it can't do anything to me, but it is not good anyway. It will affect my future in the imperial military. After all, no big boss likes to disobey orders.  Of my subordinates!

    On the other end of the phone, Major General Kumamoto stood at attention and said in an passionate tone: "Commander, please rest assured that in two hours, Kumamoto will lead all the Imperial pilots of the Third Air Force to dye the Yellow Sea red with the blood of Chinese soldiers."  The bodies of Chinese soldiers on the sea covered Mokpo Beach. I reported this to the Commander!"

    "Good! Mr. Kumamoto is worthy of being the eagle of the Empire and a role model for soldiers. His ambition is commendable! The first shot fired by the Third Air Force in the Korean Peninsula Campaign will be recorded in the history of the Imperial Army. I wish Mr. Kumamoto a triumphant victory.  Come back!" General Tanaka's face glowed with excitement, and he seemed to be infected by Major General Kumamoto's pride, and he couldn't help but raise his voice.

    Putting down the phone, General Tanaka walked to the window and looked at the troops coming in a steady stream on the streets of Busan. He thought to himself: "If Kumamoto goes well, the North Korean garrison can take a breather and at least win more than a week's victory for themselves."  Time, calmly adjust the defense deployment in Mokpo, Gwangju, and Busan. Next, it will be a protracted offensive and defensive battle! It is not yet known who will win on the Korean Peninsula! "

    Two hours later, in the Qingdao Base of the Independent Division, Navy and Air Force, Liu Cuigang looked at the runway through the glass window in the aviation ground air control room. A large transport aircraft parked quietly under the June sunshine of the Shandong Peninsula.  According to his orders, all the transport aircraft units of the Northern Aviation Group are ready to go, and all the materials and machinery for repairing the airport have been loaded. With just one order, Liu Cuigang is confident that the Incheon Airport will be repaired within three days. As an aviation force  advance base!

    "Commander, transport aircraft units are on standby at airports everywhere, just waiting for your order!" Chief of Staff Colonel Dong Ningxuan reported from behind him.

    Liu Cuigang did not look back, but asked, "Chief of Staff, is there still no movement from the Japanese land-based aircraft fleet on Kyushu Island?"

    Dong Ningxuan shook his head and replied: "No, ground radar stations in various places are constantly monitoring the direction of Japan's mainland, and there is no movement at all. I am very surprised. Could it be that the Japanese and Korean garrison forces did not detect our troops crossing the sea, but were shot down?  What¡¯s the explanation for the dozens of Japanese reconnaissance planes? It¡¯s impossible that no news was sent back at all, right?¡±

    Not only was Dong Ningxuan strange and puzzled, but even Liu Cuigang himself couldn't figure it out. Isn't the little devil's aviation commander such an amateur??  To block the enemy's landing, the best time to attack is to put it on the shore when the enemy's troop transport is floating on the sea. That is the stupidest way to attack. To block the enemy's landing on the beach, that is the job of the infantry!
