    Therefore, he firmly believed that Linxi's enemies gave up the front line of Sunjiayingzi because they were helplessly shrinking in the face of the Kwantung Army's counterattack. Although the Kwantung Army had adopted a series of covert measures, with so many troops gathered together, even if  Even a fool can smell the unusual smell.

    In Hisao Tani's view, if the enemy commander had no sense of smell, he would not have reduced the 23rd Division, once the strongest division, to this in such a short period of time.  A few remaining soldiers were defeated, and a huge division that was once strong and strong, together with the attached troops, was left with less than 2,000 troops.

    And if their top commander didn't even have this vision, he wouldn't have allowed the Kwantung Army to capsize in the gutter in Manchuria, where the Kwantung Army ruled so tightly. Can the various divisions that have been secretly deployed in place be able to do so?  The strategic intention was hidden until the last moment, and Hisao Tani never thought about it at all.

    However, they believe that with the absolute advantage in military strength and the extremely powerful combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army, even if the strategic plan is exposed a few days in advance, it will not have much impact, and even if they can detect the danger, for the Kwantung Army  According to the current situation, it is impossible for them to clearly understand the number of troops mobilized by the army this time.

    It was just clear, but it was a pity that there was not much reaction time left for them. Although the method adopted by the Kwantung Army was a bit stupid, it still succeeded in confusing them for a long time. At least for now, they have not  Figure out the main direction of the Kwantung Army's next counterattack, and now that it's the last minute, I won't give them too much time to react.

    Thinking of this, Hisao Tani opened his eyes and looked at the horseshoe watch specially placed in front of him by the adjutant. Looking at the hands that were less than half an hour before the scheduled launch of the final attack, he smiled proudly and looked at the man standing in front of him.  Several operational staff officers in front of him said: "Order each division to launch an attack on time. No matter what problems arise, there will not be a minute's delay. After the counterattack across the board is launched, they will attack their respective targets with all their strength according to the scheduled plan."

    "During the entire battle, those who were not in good command at the first level and showed hesitation at the level of division commanders were dismissed immediately. Those who were incompetent in combat at the first level of the regiment commander were asked to commit hara-kiri to apologize to the emperor. At all levels below the regiment level, regardless of the presence of officers and soldiers,  Anyone who cowers on the battlefield will be shot without mercy without going through a military court.¡±

    "At the same time, all the morale-boosting speeches given by Admiral Togo Heihachiro before the Battle of Tsushima are sent to all divisions, telling all participating officers and soldiers that the rise and fall of the Kwantung Army and even the empire will depend on this battle. I hope you will wholeheartedly contribute to it.  His Majesty the Emperor fought bravely to protect the lifeline of the Empire in Manchuria."

    "And tell each division that all materials captured on the battlefield, except weapons and equipment, will be distributed by each division. All prisoners of war, except for officers above the division, will be disposed of by each division. I allow them to be on the battlefield.  , there is no need to abide by other disciplines except combat, and each division can move freely in certain aspects."

    "But there is one thing to remember. If this battle fails and there is a problem with the command, I will commit seppuku to express my apology to His Majesty the Emperor. But if that division fails to fight, their division commander should not use me to tell them, let them  I face Tokyo and commit seppuku to express my sins to His Majesty the Emperor.¡±

    "Don't the Chinese army have a certain company? This time I will do it once in the Sixth Army. Although the Chinese are an inferior nation, some of the things they created are still good, and they can be used as references for the empire.  For example, this continuous sitting method is quite good. "

    "Although this continuous sitting method is not in line with the spirit of the Imperial Bushido, in extraordinary times, extraordinary means are used to deal with those commanders who are unfavorable in the battle and push the blame between each other. For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor's goal of Hachimon Ichiyu and for the great cause of the Imperial Holy War, I, the Valley  Hisao will never show mercy."

    These murderous words from Hisao Tani immediately made the faces of several staff officers who were waiting for his orders suddenly show a hint of joy. Several staff officers quickly formulated several orders based on Hisao Tani's murderous order as quickly as possible.  The message was quickly communicated to all the divisions participating in the war. As for the joy on the faces of these staff officers, they naturally thought that the opportunity to make contributions had arrived.

    The most courageous among the Japanese army are these staff officers, and the ones who are most daring are often these young staff officers whose hearts are full of so-called passion and whose minds are filled with ideas of making contributions to the emperor and the empire. But these young officers are not responsible for all the things in the world.  Don't dare to do it.

    If they were given a ladder to climb to the sky, they would dare to poke a hole in the sky. And often some middle- and high-level officers, because these guys are related to their classmates and collude with the superiors and subordinates, they would go crazy and not care about anything and would not want to  Offending these crazy guys, there was even an incident where the captain's combat staff dismissed the captain of the colonel without any orders.Examples of command authority.

    For these staff officers who are eager to establish so-called great achievements in order to facilitate their promotions, these orders from Hisao Tani are very suitable for them. In their view, this time is not good for the Kwantung Army, and even Japan as a whole.  This very important battle is a rare opportunity, and many people have begun to figure out how to use this opportunity to achieve their own goals.

    There were even a few daring staff officers who, when sending telegrams, privately increased the pressure on their colleagues in various divisions, signaling to them that if certain commanders who were unwilling to make progress were at a disadvantage or were in a difficult situation, even in action,  When in doubt, you can use this order to seize command to protect the continuation of the glory of the Kwantung Army.

    It must be said that the September 18th Incident initiated by Kanji Ishihara in private got off to a very bad start in the Japanese army. In order to get promoted, these young staff officers in the Japanese army were quite unscrupulous and dared to do anything. In addition,  After the relocation of Colonel Shinto caused a series of incidents, he did not receive the slightest punishment, which made these Japanese military staff unscrupulous.

    These staff officers who have been painstakingly cultivated by the Japanese army have to say that their basic military skills are still quite solid, and their staff skills are still quite outstanding. However, the inherent arrogance and arrogance that the islanders have developed under the naturally closed environment,  However, its strategic vision is limited.

    Compared with the Navy, which has a large space for activities and not only sends many overseas students, but also visits abroad from time to time, the Army, which has far fewer overseas students and a more closed environment, has a lower strategic vision. And precisely, these strategic visions  It cannot be said that there is none, but it is a rather low-level young staff officer who has real control over the army.

    From the General Staff Headquarters, to the Army Ministry, to various strategic groups, the real control of the Japanese Army is not in the division commanders and regimental commanders who are frequently mobilized. Most of it is in the hands of those who are full of loyalty to the emperor and use their classmates.  Or the relationship between fellow villagers formed small groups of staff officers at all levels.

    Because these people are distributed in the most critical departments of the Japanese army from top to bottom, their opinions can reach directly to the heavens, and can influence or even influence the judgment and choices of each division commander. They can affect various units of the Japanese army.  , the influence of these people in the Japanese Army can be said to be second only to the Emperor of Japan in private.

    The young officers at the lowest level in the Japanese army who actually command the combat troops and are most eager to make achievements and pave the way for their promotions and these equally young staff officers have similar thoughts and opinions, including age, and are even from the Army.  Classmates at the Military Academy.

    These staff officers who were trained by the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters with great efforts, with their huge ambitions that were extremely disproportionate to their country's national strength, coupled with their poor strategic vision, eventually sent Japan's army and navy to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and became this arrogant person.  The ultimate gravedigger of the Empire.

    The Kwantung Army was full of ideas of making contributions, and the man who initiated the September 18th Incident without authorization allowed the Japanese army to occupy the entire Northeast at a small cost, but was not punished at all. Instead, he was promoted to Army Lieutenant General.  Wanji Ishihara serves as the idol¡¯s advisers.

    Little did they know that their move had brought great trouble to the Kwantung Army's counterattack. During the battle, a senior military staff officer who was assigned to supervise the battle, and several young staff officers who had the same ambitions as him in the division,  , and with the help of young officers inspired by these young staff officers, they openly terminated a division commander who had hesitated during the flanking process and replaced him with him.

    Although this overly audacious Lieutenant Colonel and Staff Officer was subsequently arrested by the military police sent by Hisao Tani and sent directly to Xinjing for arrest, because of this incident, all the division commanders of the divisions participating in the front line threatened to resign collectively.  The protest set a record since Japan's new army was established after the Meiji Restoration.

    In the end, the Kwantung Army Headquarters was forced to send a military police commander to personally sit in the military headquarters, arrest all those involved in the incident, conduct a military trial at a very fast speed, and execute them immediately after the trial.  The incident, which the culprit only learned about, almost prevented the Kwantung Army's counterattack from ending prematurely in the middle of the fight.

    You know, those staff officers are united because they are classmates or fellow villagers, and have the same goal, but those high-ranking division commanders and first-level lieutenant generals are united because of their respective ideas and conflicts of interest, especially for certain people.  The competition for higher-level positions appears loose.

    What the combat staff officer did obviously violated the common bottom line and the most basic interests of these senior officers. For these division commanders, everyone secretly scheming and scheming on weekdays, but that was among the senior officers.  Infighting between the two.

      But this incident violated their collective interests and the dignity of a lieutenant general division commander. Today a military combat staff officer dares to replace a division commander without permission. Tomorrow, a second person will follow suit.  , In this way, wouldn¡¯t the division commander become Tang Monk¡¯s meat that anyone can take a bite of?

    If the position of division commander could be withdrawn in such an inexplicable way, then what else would he have to do in the future? This incident almost caused a sensation in the entire Japanese Army. In order to calm down the incident as soon as possible, the Kwantung Army Headquarters and Hisao Tani worked together  , and even violated the practice of the Japanese Army. After a hasty trial, all relevant personnel were executed in one go.

    Of course, if the conspiracy of these guys is really successful, then the losses caused by the failure of the Kwantung Army's counterattack will not be so huge. If they hadn't been in the final stage and had completely failed, they wouldn't have  Be willing to fail and take the plunge.

    It would not have led to the current proud Lieutenant General Hisao Mitsutani, together with his military headquarters, to eventually become a prisoner of the Anti-Japanese Alliance inexplicably, and he became the first captured military commander of the Japanese Army, and the first captured military commander.  A lieutenant general who was publicly sentenced to death by his opponents and executed immediately.
