Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It's just a pity that in the face of Onishi Takijiro, the navy's thorn in the side, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi's hard work was obviously a secret, and what he released may be good intentions, or a threat, to the arrogant Onishi Takijiro.  The major general just pretended that he didn't hear it. Maybe he heard it but didn't take it into his heart at all.

    Just as he finished speaking, before Meijiro Umezu had time to speak, a very unsociable and rude voice appeared among everyone present: "Your Excellency, Commander Umezu, and Chief of Staff Yoshimoto,  This joint combat operation is commanded by Lieutenant General Tokugawa, which is somewhat inappropriate. "

    "Although this combat plan was formulated by the Kwantung Army, since the Navy is also the main force participating in the war, it is also qualified to make suggestions for the selection of this commander. The Kwantung Army cannot cover up the sky just because the plan was formulated by itself.  Everything is decided in advance.¡±

    "Our navy will be responsible for half of this bombing mission. The most difficult combat task of seizing air supremacy is also completely undertaken by the naval aviation team. In other words, in this mission, our navy is responsible for the main combat mission.  I think it is absolutely unacceptable for the Navy to allow other personnel to take command under such circumstances.¡±

    "Navy officers with a glorious tradition will never accept the command of a man who fought against the inferior Chinese people and suffered repeated defeats. There are losers and no winners. If the Kwantung Army Headquarters insists on doing this, it will be extremely serious.  It will greatly affect the morale of the naval officers and soldiers participating in the war, and it will have an extremely serious impact on the naval officers and soldiers participating in the war."

    "As a naval representative attending this joint operations meeting, I must consider the acceptance capabilities of my subordinates and the explanations that must be given to the Navy Ministry and the Naval Command. I believe that this joint operations mission will be commanded by naval personnel.  It¡¯s quite appropriate.¡±

    "Another point is that since the performance of the Army's fighter jets has lagged behind, it would be better for the Navy's bomber escort missions to be completed by our own fighter groups, lest the Navy's extremely valuable aircraft and pilots suffer damage due to the incompetence of some people.  A significant loss."

    "The Army's Type 97 fighter jets are no match for those Chinese aircraft. They do not represent our Navy's Type 96 fighter jets, nor are they rivals. Your Army is afraid of war, but since Emperor Meiji of our Navy established the new Navy, no matter what the situation,  Against any strong enemy, you don¡¯t know what it means to retreat.¡±

    "It is precisely because of this spirit that the empire has defeated opponents stronger than itself in previous wars. Whether it was the Manchu fleet or the Russian fleet, the imperial navy has never been afraid. Now it is facing these resistance  Our navy will not be afraid of the alliance.¡±

    "Everyone, what the Imperial Army has always paid attention to is not the advanced level of equipment, but whether the combatants have the spirit to fight to the death for His Majesty the Emperor. Since your Army Air Force lacks this spirit of fighting to the death in the face of a powerful enemy, then the Navy still has  It¡¯s better to undertake the escort yourself.¡±

    "Of course, if the Kwantung Army insists on the original plan and acts so arbitrarily, the Navy can think that the Kwantung Army intends to embarrass the Navy and use the Navy as a scapegoat. If this is the case, then the Navy has the right to withdraw from this joint operation. We  As a representative of the Navy, I will also report my views and opinions directly to the Minister of the Navy and the Naval Command.¡±

    The person who said these words not only stole the talk from Umezu Yoshijiro, but also mocked his Army colleagues. It was the person who had not said a word since entering the conference room and only glanced at the Army colleagues around him with contemptuous eyes.  Major General Onishi Takijiro, and what he said was indeed difficult to accept.

    In Wuhan, Lieutenant General Tokugawa was pushed out of the position of commander of the bombing of Chongqing. The crowded Army Air Forces had no choice but to give up the honor of bombing Chongqing, the capital of the Chinese government, and could only switch to bombing other cities. This was obviously against the Rear Admiral.  This arrangement of the Kwantung Army was quite unpalatable, especially when he heard that Hainan Airlines was the main force in this battle, but he could only command a group of fighter jets. His face was quite ugly.

    As for Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Teiichi's threats or good intentions, he didn't listen at all. For him, how to defend the honor of the navy on the territory of the army, or simply defend his own honor?  It is the first priority. As for the Emperor, it is natural that the Minister of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Command will deal with it, and it is not his turn as a small Marine Major General to take on the responsibility.

    At the moment, the most important thing is that the navy must not let the army take command. He, Major General Onishi Takijiro, let alone those idiots in the army, are kidding. The mission of sending troops this time is to seize air supremacy with the navy as the main task.  The navy is responsible, so why let the navy take command?

    Although the Kwantung Army aviation group did lose more than it won when facing the Allied aviation, but thatThis was before the arrival of Lieutenant General Yoshitoshi Tokugawa, and the reason why the Army Air Forces lost so miserably was not because of the poor quality of the Army Air Forces, nor was it a command problem.

    In fact, the performance of combat aircraft is too different from that of anti-Japanese fighter planes. The gap between the combat aircraft of the two sides is like a duel between a person holding a pistol and a person holding a machine gun. In this situation,  Next, even if it were your navy, the result would be the same.

    Besides, if you bring it up now, you are suspected of opening up an old score. On the other hand, aren't you trying to slap the face of General Yoshijiro Umezu, who has the highest position and highest military rank here? It seems that the Kwantung Army faced the counterattack last year.  The great rout of the battle was commanded by none other than General Umezu Yoshijiro in front of him.

    Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the face of General Umezu Yoshijiro, who was sitting in the first place, instantly turned livid. Although he barely suppressed the anger in his heart and had not yet exploded on the spot, General Umezu clenched the handle of his saber.  The bulging veins in his creaking hands clearly expressed the anger in his heart at the moment.

    Does this guy know what he is saying, and what he means by these words? Does he mean that he cannot accept the command of Lieutenant General Yoshitoshi Tokugawa, or that he cannot accept the command of the Kwantung Army, that is, General Yoshijiro Umezu?  If you want this command position, you still want to abandon the Guandong Army. Their navy will act alone in this battle.

    But this man, as for General Umezu Yoshijiro's livid face and anger, acted as if he hadn't seen it. After saying what he said, he sat down on his own, picked up the tea in front of him, and took a few sips.  He drank it all, as if he had expended so much energy in saying these infuriating words.

    Compared to General Umezu and Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadichi, who were trying their best to suppress their anger after hearing what he said, Hebei was currently the commander of the Kwantung Army Aviation Force. He had had a period of time with this guy in Wuhan, and it was a cooperation that would be unforgettable in his life.  Lieutenant General Totoshi Tokugawa was not as calm as they were.

    When two people commanded the long-range air force of the Japanese army and navy in Wuhan to jointly carry out air raids on Chongqing and Dakou on the Chinese battlefield, they had a big quarrel for three days and a small quarrel almost every day because of the competition for dominance and command.  There was no openness, and in the end even the base camp was alerted.

    In particular, this guy is so domineering that not only the Navy's air raid plan cannot be interfered with by the Army, but even when the Army formulates its own air raid plan, this guy always makes irresponsible remarks. Lieutenant General Tokugawa during the joint operation in Wuhan  , I couldn¡¯t bear this guy¡¯s cowardice any less.

    How can Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, who has had enough in Wuhan and the anger of this arrogant guy, still be able to keep his composure? If Umezu Yoshijiro can still keep his composure because of his status, then Tokugawa  Lieutenant General Kawahaomi almost always looked at this guy with eyes that could kill someone.

    If he were not in front of a group of senior commanders of the Kwantung Army, he would not only maintain the dignity of a warrior, but also maintain the demeanor of a general. He has been silently thinking in his heart not to be as familiar with this guy who is just here to disrupt the situation, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.  Tokugawa Yoshitoshi couldn't wait to throw all the tea in his hand at that hateful guy. He even pulled out his saber and had the idea of ??dueling with this guy.

    Is this guy here to attend the joint operations meeting, or is he just here to stir up trouble? If you want to compete for command, you can raise it openly. This matter is not non-negotiable, but why should your premise be based on trampling  Why should others trample on the dignity of others under their feet?

    In the early days of the air raid on Chongqing, when there were no new fighter jets to escort, were the losses suffered by your naval aviation arm smaller than those of the army? In the early days of the war, when your naval air arm launched air raids on China, it seemed that its losses were also very high. If you hadn¡¯t developed  With the introduction of a new fighter jet with an ultra-long range, it¡¯s still hard to tell who will be laughing at who.

    Indeed, when conducting air raids on China's rear areas such as Chongqing, the Army's losses were much greater than those of the Navy due to aircraft performance reasons, especially the lack of fighter jets capable of long-range escort. Even last year, the Army completely switched to the Navy  leading.

    But this problem is not just about command. It is more about the fact that the aircraft performance of the Army is not as good as that of the Navy. Also, for the Army, because it was originally believed that the main task of the Army Aviation was ground support, rather than long-distance raids on the enemy's rear, so for long-range  Training in bombing was somewhat inadequate.

    The combat aircraft deployed by the Army in the Guanci Civil War are mainly tactical aircraft. Among the heavy bombers that can carry out long-range bombing in China's rear area, the Type 97 heavy bombers, which have the best performance and the longest range, are insufficient in number.  The bombers deployed in the Kwantung Army suffered heavy losses in the First World War last year, including a large number ofType 7 heavy bomber.

    As for the imported Italian bombers, they were pure cheating goods. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but their quality was also extremely poor. Most of the aircraft were dispatched once or twice before their engines were basically scrapped, and their attendance rate was not as good as that of the old Type 92.  The lack of combat power of bombers has also greatly affected the attendance rate of army aircraft.

    The Army's performance in the air strikes against the Chinese government's rear areas was indeed not very good, especially the bombing of Chongqing, which was not as outstanding as the Navy's performance. However, the Army Aviation's performance in the air strikes against the Chinese government's rear areas was not as good either.  When it comes to evaluation by your navy, everyone is at best half a pound to half a pound, and no one performs much better than anyone else.

    In the early days of the war, the captain who committed seppuku because of heavy losses came from your navy. Those four kings of the navy who were almost praised by you all died within half a year. Now you see  It seems that it has an advantage over the army, but it is just that your navy has the advantage in aircraft performance.
