    Relative to learning that the main force of the Japanese army appeared in the direction of Jinsha Gang.  [.Com text] After Baoqing County was actually under siege, instead of being nervous, Yang Zhen felt much more relaxed.  Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru, commander of the Japanese 11th Division in Qingyuan, holds in his hand a telegram from the commander of the army severely reprimanding the entire division for arbitrarily changing the battle plan formulated by the army, and for the entire division to cross Mount Wanda and go north to Baoqing.  Very angry.

    Looking at the division commander who looked livid after receiving the reprimanding telegram from the army commander.  The chief of staff of the division standing next to him, the serious Yoshitsune, said cautiously: "Your Excellency, would you please call Lieutenant General Namada back and explain our tactical intentions properly. I think Lieutenant General Namada will understand."

    "Don't get too stalemate with His Excellency Namada Juichi. After all, he is now the commander of the army. Before, he sent six infantry brigades to reinforce the 10th Division, but you only sent six infantry squadrons. This time going north, you  He also insisted on transferring a large number of troops and ammunition from the Eighth Border Guard to replenish the 11th Division, which has made Lieutenant General Hatada Juichi very unhappy. If the stalemate continues, this will be very detrimental to you and the 11th Division.  of."

    Regarding the persuasion of the serious Yoshitsune, Ushijima Mitsuru waved his hands indifferently and said: "Don't worry about him, let's continue. As long as we take Jiamusi and cut off the opponent's supply line, he, Namada Juichi, will not do anything to us.  Yes. And the 11th Division was dismantled. If the 11th Division were all here, why should I be so cautious? Maybe you and I would be drinking in Jiamusi now."

    "How about transferring the 8th Border Guard? The 11th Division was reduced to pieces by him. Several squadrons were assigned to the 63rd Regiment, and now six infantry squadrons have been transferred to take over the support of the 8th Division.  The Sixty-third Regiment, even the three squadrons left behind in Mishan, were also deployed by him to eliminate those so-called saboteurs. The current strength of the Eleventh Division was almost one less than a whole regiment, but there was still a delay in replenishing the troops.  arrive."

    "The Eighth Border Guard Corps has a brigade structure, and some people are transferred to strengthen the 11th Division for combat considerations. I don't want to follow in the footsteps of Machijiri Yuki and Tokawa Jiro, and the division was replaced by this army commander  If you take it apart and use it, and it is defeated by the opponent one by one, you will end up in a state of uncertainty. "

    "Lieutenant General Shigeichi Hatada still hasn't figured out the difference between fighting against this anti-Manchurian armed force and fighting against the Kannai China government forces. The Kannai China government forces have poor firepower. Although most of the troops are determined to fight against the imperial army, they are internally weak.  There are many disagreements and factions. During the war, there are always attempts to undermine each other.¡±

    "Furthermore, in the so-called China Army, the Central Army and the so-called miscellaneous local army are also very wary. The ability to coordinate with each other in combat is also very poor. It is difficult for the officers who come from the so-called miscellaneous local army to command.  The Central Army and the local miscellaneous armies must fight against the Imperial Army on the one hand, and on the other hand, they must remain vigilant to avoid being annexed by their Central Army.¡±

    "This has caused many problems in the command of the China government forces, and they have to support each other even on the same battlefield. Things that are desperate between the China Central Army and the local army often happen, which is inevitable in the imperial army.  The most important thing is that the training of the Chinese government troops is very problematic, and the tactics are too rigid. "

    "But our opponent now is completely different from the opponents the imperial army has encountered in the past. Not only is it well-trained and tenacious, but it also has powerful firepower, and the cooperation between them is extremely tacit. This is completely different from the China government army.  Lieutenant General Shigeichi Hatada is still looking at people with the same old eyes and looking at this anti-Manchurian armed forces with the same eyes as the Chinese government forces. The only one who suffers is himself. "

    "He, Lieutenant General Namada Shigeichi, still thinks that this is the year before last, when he defeated several divisions of the Chinese government army with a brigade in the Battle of Wuhan, and was so majestic? Now give him another brigade to fight alone.  If this opponent in front of me can fight, he can still achieve a record of three or eight years. I will immediately commit hara-kiri to him."

    "Maybe the other side is concentrating its forces on the southern front now, waiting for the 11th Division to get into the pocket they have designed. When there is no response force in the rear, if I still follow his plan, I can't do it.  Well, the 11th Division will make the same mistake as the 6th Division.¡±

    "Judging from the current progress of the battle, Namada Juichi's reputation for being good at attacking is just a false claim. The entire Sixth Division was destroyed, the main force of the Tenth Division was completely lost, and only the Sixty-third Regiment was left, which was in a dilemma.  If we continue to fight according to his experience, the 11th Division will be in bad luck sooner or later. "

    Speaking of this, Ushijima waved his hand indifferently to stop the serious Yoshito who wanted to say something: "Anyway, his plan is to defeat the opponent. We just need to achieve this goal. As for how the 11th Division should fight, he  Lieutenant General Namada Juichi shouldn¡¯t be involved. Anyway, as long as he achieves his goal, he can¡¯t find any faults.¡±

    ?"As long as we can seize Jiamusi before the opponent's main force attracted by the 29th Division turns around, we will be sure to win this battle. As for other things, let's put them aside. Mr. Zhengzheng  , Don¡¯t worry too much. As an emperor, you must plan your tactics according to the development of the situation, and you can¡¯t just follow the orders of your superiors.¡±

    Hearing these words from the division commander who clearly showed little respect for Shuichi Namada, knowing that the division commander and Lieutenant General Shuichi Namada had a grudge, he did not continue to persuade him.  He knew that his division commander had a rather crazy character, and the more he persuaded him, the more stubborn he became.

    But when it comes to the knot between Ushijima Mitsuru and Namada Juichi, we have to talk about the position of commander of the Fifth Army.  If the commander of the Fifth Army was still Lieutenant General Doihara, Ushijima Mitsuru would naturally not and would not dare to treat this old man with such contempt.

    But for Ushijima Mitsuru, at the beginning of the all-out war between China and Japan, this person who was the same brigade commander as him even the year before last, and who was still competing with him on the battlefield in Central China, now climbed above him and became  It is indeed difficult for my immediate boss to accept this.

    I think that when Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru was the commander of the 36th Brigade in the 6th Division, he was quite impressive.  First, he led his brigade on a rampage all the way to Shanghai and Nanjing, and then commanded his brigade in the so-called Wuhan Battle of the China Army. He quickly interspersed and cut off the retreat of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Fifth Theater of China in one fell swoop.  Although they did not defeat their opponents due to insufficient troops, they captured the only artillery brigade in the fifth theater of the China Army.

    ??Also performed well in the Wuhan battle, but Namada Shigeichi was promoted step by step.  From the lieutenant general of the Botian detachment organized by the brigade, he was first promoted to the commander of the 19th division.  In less than a year, he succeeded Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara and served as the commander of the Fifth Army, the most important army of the Kwantung Army and the one with the most subordinate divisions.

    This speed allowed him to be transferred back to China to attend the Army Preparatory School after the Wuhan Battle.  First he was a secretary, then a principal.  Although he was promoted to lieutenant general, Mitsuru Ushijima, who dealt with a group of fanatical men all day long and was not directly promoted to division commander, was quite jealous.

    Even though he didn¡¯t get a division commander, Mitsuru Ushijima shouldn¡¯t be jealous of the position of division commander when he was transferred to the Army Sergeant School, the base camp where Japanese military officers were trained, to be the principal.  But the key is that there is a preparatory course in front of his sergeant school, which is just a branch of the serious sergeant school.  Even though he is the principal of two schools part-time, his position is still incomparable to that of the principal of the Military Academy.

    What makes Ushijima even more unconvinced is that at the end of last year, when Mitsuru Ushijima was transferred to the position of Lieutenant General Commander of the 11th Division, he had already been sitting in the position of Commander of the 19th Division for more than half a year. At the beginning of this year  Following the expansion of the Kwantung Army, he was promoted to lieutenant general commander of the Fifth Army.  The smooth career path made Ushijima so jealous that he almost went crazy.

    ??????????????????????????????????Compared with the currently expanding division-level combat forces, how many military-level establishments does the Imperial Japanese Army have in total?  He believed that his abilities and talents were not inferior to those of Namada Juichi, but he was only able to become one of the many division commanders under the Fifth Army. This made Ushijima Mitsuru find it difficult to accept.  Although he didn't say it, Ushijima was still secretly dissatisfied in his heart.  As his chief of staff, he is naturally aware of this.

    The reason why Ushijima Mitsuru sent out a surprise force this time was because the army commander did not follow the request of Lieutenant General Shigeichi Namada when the Eighth Division was unable to regain its combat effectiveness.  division.  Instead, he personally led the main force of the division to go north with all his strength, trying to launch a surprise attack on Jiamusi from the direction of Baoqing.  In addition to eagerly changing the current overall passive war situation, he also expressed his intention to the Kwantung Army Headquarters and Tokyo Base Camp.

    As the chief of staff of the division, the upright Lieutenant Colonel is very able to position himself correctly.  The previous persuasion was just out of my obligation as a staff member.  As for whether to listen or not, Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru himself.  Now that everything that needs to be said has been said, the other serious commanders who always abide by their duties will not say one more word.

    The serious Yoshitsune shut his mouth. After belittling his superiors in front of his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru, who was in a much better mood, was disappointed with the slow progress of the battle at Jinshagang and attacked the troops.  They have been unable to break through the defense of Jinshagang's first-line opponents and feel quite dissatisfied.

    After letting out a big sigh of anger in his heart, Ushijima Mitsuru was now dissatisfied with the attack speed of his men.  Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru turned to Masamune Yoshitsugu and said: "Masamatsu-kun, please send a telegram to Colonel Tabota, the captain of the 12th Regiment, to urge the progress of the 12th Regiment.

    "His 12th Regiment, supported by the firepower of the main artillery force of the division, has been five or six hours since launching the attack, but it still has not broken through Jinsha Gang."?, what exactly does Tabota eat?  If his Twelve Wings are unable to make progress, I don't mind replacing his Twelve Wings with the Forty-Third Wing.  Let Colonel Qingshan Qing take over his command.  "
