"Seishiro Itagaki is a bastard, he doesn't take us seriously" A Japanese general with a full beard slammed his fist on the table, and the people next to him could even hear the crisp sound of his bones, and his strength seemed to be about to break his bones."
There's no way, who told him to be able to fight, and he is very strategic, and he can always pinpoint the weak points of the squadron.He was also personally received by the emperor, which has never been seen in the past, and who can have his glory.Without him, the Northeast Incident would not have been promoted, and Manchukuo would not have been established. ”The other general also looked very dissatisfied, but he still held his composure, clasped his hands on his chest, as if closing his eyes to recuperate.But the corners of his eyebrows could be clearly seen trembling, obviously suppressing the anger."
But he was too blind to see anyone, and we said we would wait for the order to attack.Even if he wants to attack, he will report back to us.This made us passively issue an order, Matsui-kun, he is too much, let us have no face in the future" The bearded general was obviously angry to the extreme, and his saliva flew like bullets, almost landing on the face of Matsui, who was pretending to be calm not far away.These two people are the highest commanders of the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army, the bearded man is called Mamoru Iinuma, with the rank of major general, and the post chief of staff.And the one who has been sitting and pretending to be calm is the commander Matsui Ishone, with the rank of general, who is also a famous name in the Japanese army.But in the eyes of the Chinese, he is a demon.He was once the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, participated in the Russo-Japanese War in his early years, and later transferred to the Central China Command and led the army to launch the war against Nanjing.and connived at the burning, killing and looting of Nanjing by his subordinates, and also signed a series of orders.It can be said that his hands are stained with the blood of the Chinese and he is a demon with many crimes.Matsui Ishone let out a long breath, and although he was very dissatisfied with Seishiro Itagaki , he had to restrain himself.In his early years, he retired from active service during the purge movement in Japan, and it was not until the outbreak of the war of aggression against China that he was reactivated.Unlike Seishiro Itagaki who is just red, perhaps the slightest mistake will end his political career.So to Itagaki Seishiro, he was determined to endure."
Agree to his request, notify the Air Force, and contact the 5th Division directly.To assist them with all its might, this is an order of the Central China Dispatch Army Command, and it must be carried out. ”Matsui Ishone seemed to have made up his last mind and suddenly stood up."
Matsui-kun, this" Major General Mamoru Iinuma looked at Matsui Ishine stupidly, from the extremely ruthless commander in Nanjing all the way here, Mamoru Iinuma knew what kind of person Matsui Ishine was.He was a proud samurai who didn't like to be stepped on by others, and now Seishiro Itagaki despised him so much, but he acted as if nothing had happened."
Carry out the order, fully support the Fifth Division.I suddenly had a hunch that maybe Seishiro Itagaki's good days would end in Xuzhou.The steel will be broken, and those who are too eager to express themselves will be dragged down by their own conceit. ”In fact, this was just Matsui Ishine's self-consolation and didn't want his chief of staff to see what he was thinking, but what he didn't know was that on the battlefield in the near future, his words really came true.The great Seishiro Itagaki who seems to be absolutely invincible is really defeated.And the man who made him fail has not yet appeared.The Central China Command's order was immediately transmitted to the Navy's ships, and all the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier anchored in the coastal waters immediately contacted Itagaki Seishiro's troops directly.At this time, the 5th Division was hampered on the way to the offensive and was stubbornly blocked by the squadrons of three divisions.The battle lasted two days and two nights, and the reserves of both sides were thrown into the battle.The Japanese artillery shells rained down like raindrops, and even a mountain was about to be flattened.But two days later, the Japanese army still did not get close.Although the defending three Chinese divisions suffered heavy losses, one of the division commanders died heroically while directing the battle.However, the casualties of the Fifth Division were also very heavy, more than 30 tanks were scrapped on the battlefield, and more than 3,000 soldiers were killed.Seishiro Itagaki immediately called on all the carrier-based aircraft of the Navy, and almost an hour later, more than thirty of the best Type 96 carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese army at that time filled the sky over the battlefield.With the powerful firepower of the 5th Division, the carrier-based aircraft frantically threw bombs, almost once again flattening the positions of the Chinese defenders.However, the 96 carrier-based aircraft has a very bad point, that is, its short itinerary makes it impossible to provide the Japanese army with a full escort function for a long time.The fuel in the tank is only enough for them to make a round trip from the sea to the battlefield, and they must return after dropping the bomb, otherwise there is a possibility of a crash.Although the positions of the Chinese defenders were bombed in turns, the defenders still stubbornly held their positions.At this time, both senior officers and ordinary soldiers were defending the trenches with the same hatred.Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, had already issued a strict order that the attack of the Fifth Division must be blocked.The Fifth Division was like a sharp sword, its attack speed was too fast, it broke through too many defensive lines, and it had penetrated too deep into the territory of Xuzhou, disrupting all Li Zongren's deployments.If it is allowed to continue the attack, then Li Zongren may not be able to mobilize more troops to devote to this all-out war, and the Fifth Division is already in the city.When the Japanese army follows in the footsteps of the Fifth Division, then they will go straight to the core position of the battlefield, and the Chinese defenders will likely be divided by the Japanese army, which will be extremely dangerous.So this kind of thing must not happen, when the Japanese army in all frontal theaters launches a general offensive.On the one hand, Li Zongren mobilized troops to block the Japanese attack, and he also mobilized reinforcements to stop the evil tiger of Itagaki Seishiro.Only by blocking him can Li Zongren have time to deploy the battle situation below.And the 10th Division is like a-stirring stick, the 5th Division is stagnant, and they are stagnant.He didn't say anything about helping the 5th Division to attack the Chinese defenders in front of him, but stayed away from the battlefield, as if this matter was none of his business.Regarding the rogue behavior of the 10th Division, Seishiro Itagaki was very clear in his heart.But he is a proud person, and in the past, He Susa could share military merits behind him, so of course Yoshio Suzuka could.Itagaki Seishiro pursues something different from everyone else, what he wants is not military merit, nor is it promotion to make a fortune.What he wants is honor, honor that belongs to him alone.There is also a sense of achievement, a miracle that others have never created, he has created, that is the strongest sense of achievement.Therefore, he did not see a series of actions of the 10th Division.In his eyes, there will always be countless waste materials behind the genius, and those waste materials are just to rely on the light of his genius.Although the attack was hindered, Seishiro Itagaki did not have any anxiety.He is like a very patient hunter who spends his days in a daze at the operational command map.His staff officers were all far behind him, and for Seishiro Itagaki, staff officers were people who conveyed orders, and they were not even worthy of giving him advice.Because he was the proud Seishiro Itagaki, there was no one in the world who knew more about war than he did, at least as he thought so."
Order the tank special forces to flank the Chinese defenders from both flanks, hold them down at all costs, and don't let them reinforce the defenders in the middle."
Seishiro Itagaki gave the first order, and the staff officers immediately conveyed it to the troops."
The artillery was ordered to adjust its artillery fire and concentrate on bombarding the central positions of the Chinese defenders.Before this evening, bomb me out of a big crater there, I don't want to see a living Chinese there without ammunition, immediately let the rear send, in short, blow up the barrel, and also complete this order. ”A second order followed, and almost a few minutes later reached the artillery units.All the mountain artillery, heavy artillery, and howitzers of the Fifth Division adjusted the height of their muzzles at this moment, and the targets of the bombardment were all locked on the frontal positions of the Chinese defenders."
In the evening, the infantry must be within 200 meters of the Chinese defenders' positions.Mortars continue to bombard their positions, and I'm going to make sure there isn't a single living person there.An hour later, the ground forces launched a full-scale offensive, and this time, there must be no failure. ”Seishiro Itagaki slammed his fist into the map, and his last command was passed to the troops.A death squad of elite soldiers was immediately formed within the 5th Division, and the mission of this death squad was not to send them to death, but to attack the fortifications, and to carry the best weapons to make sure to open a gap in the positions of the Chinese defenders.The indiscriminate bombardment suddenly descended on the frontal positions of the Chinese defenders, defended by a division under the 11th Group Army of the Nationalist Army, which had been defending here for two days and suffered heavy casualties, and the division was now only half of its combat strength.Suddenly, under heavy artillery fire, the already dilapidated trenches were immediately exacerbated.The soldiers scrambled to find shelter, but the continuous artillery fire soon destroyed improvised bomb shelters, and many soldiers were buried alive inside.More soldiers were blown to pieces by the shells that fell nearby, and these soldiers who had the ambition to serve the country, but failed to fight the Japanese army head-on, died under the artillery fire with hatred, and they didn't even see the face of the devil.In the afternoon, the devil's plane once again landed above the Chinese position.Numerous aerial bombs were dropped, adding to the heavy casualties of the already heavy casualties of the Chinese defenders.But not a single one fled, not one abandoned the position.The division commander personally came to the front-line positions and resisted the bombardment with the soldiers.The division commander had already given a strict order, and there was no way out behind them.Today, if you want to die, you will all die in the trenches, and not a single deserter will be allowed to fall.Because they escaped, and gave up not just a trench, but probably countless rivers and mountains.There, the cannon fire continued to bombard until near evening, perhaps the devil's cannon chamber really exploded, and the deafening cannon sound suddenly stopped.The soldiers who had crawled out of the trenches and were dying had not yet rejoiced that they were still alive, when they once again saw devils all over the hills, advancing towards them
