Chapter 478: Hideki Tojo's Decision


9ooo622 Chapter 478 Hideki Tojo's Decision Shu Yuhang knew very well that he himself was not comparable to Hu Nai at all.

He relied on the Chinese Expeditionary Force's several major battles and soared under Chiang Kai-shek's special cultivation and deliberate promotion, of which luck and luck accounted for the vast majority, and Hu Sui's qualifications and experience were difficult to catch up with, and there was a previous mustard.

Considering all the factors, Song Yuhang only conveyed the order to Hu Lian in accordance with the deployment of the Supreme Military Council.

To provide the ammunition supply needed for the reorganized 11th Division, the battle was in full swing, and Song Yuhang naturally would not treat the reorganized 11th Division badly, and all the ammunition and materials were distributed, which also eased the tension between him and Hu Lian slightly.

Song Yuhang turned to the operational staff officer on the side and said, "Go to the Intelligence Department and ask Vice Minister Zhao if he has any information about the reorganization of the 11th Division."

It didn't take a while.

Vice Minister Zhao Min of the Ministry of Intelligence personally came to the war room with a piece of information, and after Zhao Min looked around at everyone, he handed the information to Wang Chongxian, who was closest to her.

Wang Chongxian looked at the intelligence report sent by the Ministry of Intelligence: "Hu Lian1 was born in 7 years, his original name was Conglu, also known as Junru, the word Boyu 1 Han nationality, Shaanxi Huazhou people.

In 1 year, he entered the fourth phase of the Huangpu 6th Army Military Academy, and later entered the Nanjing Infantry School, the first phase of the Revolutionary Practice Research Institute, and graduated from the Staff University of the 6th Army of the United States.

He served as the commander of the battalion, regiment, brigade, and division, and was once famous for the defense of the Shipai Fortress, and in August of the year, he became the commander of the 18th Army.

Advertisement Song Yuhang frowned slightly and sighed: "These are just the most ordinary personnel information, it seems that we have to increase our investment in the intelligence department."

Wang Chong now closed the intelligence folder. glanced at Zhao Min, who had an embarrassed expression and wanted to stop talking, turned to Song Yuhang and said: "Chief Song, intelligence, it is not a day's cold, the most important thing in intelligence work is not what strength, financial resources or professional talents, those can only be regarded as auxiliary means at best, what really matters is a commanding heights that can overlook the overall situation in name and morality."

Whether it is a military command or a central command, they are all national forces without exception, and they can carry out their work without fear in name, but our Chinese Expeditionary Force is different, and we can do whatever we want at home, unlike Burma or India.

The obstruction of intelligence work is also understandable. ” Zhao Min threw a ray of gratitude to Wang Chongxian, and Wang Chongxian seemed to turn a blind eye to Vice Minister Zhao's gratitude, which made Zhao Min's kindness finally become a little resentful "Hmm" Song Yuhang nodded slightly in approval, Wang Zaxian's words were very reasonable, intelligence work is indeed not easy to carry out.

If it is carried out well, it can even top the troops of several armies, and if it is not carried out well, then it is easy to be misled by erroneous intelligence, and this is the most terrible thing.

Since the development of intelligence needs to be considered in the long run, Song Yuhang will naturally not be in a hurry, and the most worrying thing for Song Yuhang at present is not the domestic war or the main forces of the Second Mechanized Army and the Third Mechanized Army being assembled in the Pacific Theater, but the political dynamics on the part of the allies Toward.

In this era of the supremacy of interests, especially in the international arena, there are no permanent allies, only permanent interests, and Song Yuhang knows very well that the Americans are harboring evil intentions, and in fact they want to control China through aid and give China a fish.

This is why the United States was willing to give equipment to more than a dozen divisions, or even dozens of divisions, as soon as Song Yuhang opened his mouth, as long as the quality of Chinese officers and men met the requirements and completed the basic training subjects.

However, it is even more difficult for the United States to help build weapons production lines, and the Americans would rather ship them from across the ocean than produce them themselves in China.

For the Americans who contribute money and efforts at this stage, Song Yuhang is still grateful, at this stage it is a cooperative relationship, and the country will be strong in the future, I know you The Americans are the oldest, but for the British who are full of bad water and dare not make personnel but always pull back, Song Yuhang is not so polite, the blow is never soft, Song Yuhang also feels that it seems that the British can't be treated too well, otherwise those Nelson people will easily kick their noses in the face.

On the day of the wound in June, the reserve old army broke through the defensive front of the first pigeon division of the Japanese army in Xiangtang Township, and on the afternoon of the same day, the 1st fierce army headquarters also broke through the Japanese defense line in Xiangshui Township under the command of Li Tianxia.

The Fifth Mechanized Corps of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was fully approaching Tianjingshan, and the Eighth Army of Li Mi on the flank cut off the connection between the Japanese defenders of Tianjingshan and the defenders of Luning Town and Laodaohe Town.

At this point, the squadron has completed the division and encirclement of the six divisions and one independent mixed brigade deployed by the Japanese army around Changsha, and the Chinese soldiers rushed to the Japanese position like a wave, and the Japanese army continued to block the attack, but the position was constantly broken through, and the squadron attacked violently like a storm.

The Japanese army was powerless to fight back, and hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides launched an unprecedented bloody battle around Changsha.

Around Changsha, hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Japanese troops were mixed together, and on the outer line, there were still Japanese troops, small divisions and several independent mixed brigades.

As well as the various supporting technical arms, as many as 20 armies were on the outer line, and the Chinese and Japanese armies unconsciously formed a circle in the form of the campaign.

And Song Yuhang, who was in the core of the circle, was in the military headquarters of the First Mechanized Army, and he had a calm posture.

Song Yuhang was paying close attention to the headquarters of the Fifth Mechanized Army of Zheng Dongguo, which was attacking the remnants of the 40th Division of the Japanese Army along the Laoban River.

Laodao River, also known as "Laotang River" and "Luhu River", is a first-class tributary of the Xiangjiang River, and has "the second largest inland river in Changsha." called.

It is located in Changsha City, Hunan Province, and originates from Zhouluo Village, Shegang Town, at the northern foot of Shizhu Peak in Liuyang City.

It flows through Shegang Town, Longfu Township, Shashi Town, Beisheng Town and Yongan Town in Liuyang City, Chunhua Town and Huanghua Town in Changsha County, and Laodaohe Town joins the Xiangjiang River in Beiyang Oil Pond in Changsha City.

The total length is fierce kilometers, and the basin area is Wanxu square kilometers.

Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, when Guan Yu crossed the river, he accidentally dropped the Qinglong Yanyue knife into the river.

When looking for it along the river, the knife actually floated on the water.

Hence the name "Laodao River" Located in the north of Changsha City, Laodaohe Town is the main target of Zheng Dongguo's attack, the Japanese Army's 40th Division has built a perfect defense system here, trying to use the regional characteristics of the water network of many rivers and lakes to hold Laodaohe Town, and the northwest of Laodaohe Town is close to Wangcheng County's T-shaped Town and Qiaoyi Town, the Japanese Army's 27th Division is stationed here, the southeast is bordered by Beishan Township, Changsha County, and the south is adjacent to Changsha City.

If the 5th Mechanized Army occupies the town of Laodaohe, then the Japanese army will have to fully switch to urban street fighting.

From a general point of view, the squadron from Yiyang, Xiangtan, and Zhuzhou has become a major battle encirclement of Changsha.

Standing in front of the headquarters of the Sanhe Chinese Dispatch Army, the two armies on the map crisscrossed the shape of the two armies of the enemy and us made the United States a headache, and the mobility of his own troops was almost on par with the squadron, both sides wanted to outflank each other's retreat at the beginning of the battle, and divided the other party into several pieces to eliminate them one by one, and as a result, the almost identical mobility of both sides led to the failure of both sides' tactical attempts.

As a result, the battle of Changsha was not carried out according to the plan of the staff headquarters of the base camp, but was carried out according to the expectations of Netmura Ningji, who simply divided the battle of Changsha into three steps, first he established the standard of not taking the gains and losses of one city and one place as the very successful battle, but using a small number of troops to stick to Changsha City, and constantly depleting the squadron's vigor and vitality through tragic street battles.

This time, because Song Yuhang was appointed as the second deputy commander of the squadron, Okamura Ningji completely blocked Changsha before the war, and drove a number of Chinese people from the suburbs into Changsha City.

Okamura Ninji is now frightened by Song Yuhang's unbelievable combat methods at all costs.

He was afraid that Song Yuhang would not use a large number of incendiary bombs or some other net, and Ning Ci knew very well that in this world, there was only what he didn't dare to think about, and there was nothing that Song Yuhang didn't dare to do.

Okamura Ninji stood in front of the map, and his second step was to confuse the command and decision-making level of the squadron through the transfer of external troops, so that they would make a wrong judgment that he would stick to Changsha at all costs, in fact, Netura Ninji wanted to exchange strategic depth for the time he needed most Whether it is the Chinese Dispatch Army, or the Kwantung Army, which was previously the Southern Army and is now a large blood transfusion for the Chinese Dispatch Army.

What they need most is time, so that they can produce more new weapons and train more troops, and it will take at least eight months for Wangcun Ningci, and if there are eight or two months, nearly 400,000 Korean recruits of the Kwantung Army will be able to complete their training, and the heavy mechanized factories in Changchun and Mukden will be able to produce a sufficient number of new combat vehicles.

Okamura Ninji knew that the Chinese side was more reluctant than him, however, the Chinese side did not give him time at all, and in less than half a month after the end of the Battle of Guilin, the Battle of Changsha with Changsha as the center was moved.

The decisive battle of Changsha can be said to be a decisive battle that decided the fate of China and Japan in a hurry, because both sides of the battle have almost concentrated all their combat strength, once one side is defeated, then the defeated side will face a situation of a thousand miles, for which the Japanese base camp has made a detailed analysis before the war.

The Imperial Road faction and the prefecture with the Marshal of Yama Prefecture as the core, who advocated the decisive battle, quarreled with the Oita valve centered on General Minamijiro, and the people below even drew their swords and moved their hands many times.

In Japan.

The Battle of Changsha between the Chinese and Japanese armies made Hideki Tojo feel an unprecedented crisis, and China was Japan's last retreat, and if the Allied forces landed on the Japanese mainland, according to the decisive battle on the mainland, the Sixth Army would set up seven independent tank brigades and 60 newly organized divisions, and all men and women over the age of 14 and under the age of 60 would be organized into self-defense forces nationwide according to their regions, counties, and cities, so that the people of the whole country would have the determination to break 100 million pieces of jade.

The First General Army of the Japanese Army was formed in the Tokyo area of Japan, under the jurisdiction of the 11th Front Army in Sendai, the 12th Front Army in Tokyo, and the 13th Front Army in Nagoya.

The 2nd General Army of the Japanese Army in the Hiroshima area of Japan was under the jurisdiction of the 15th Front Army in the Great Defense and the 16th Front Army in Nikaichi.

The Japanese Air Force in Tokyo, with four air corps and eight air divisions under its command, plus the Fifth Front Army stationed in the Japanese garrison under the command of the Japanese base camp, will have an unprecedented number of troops stationed in Japan and indeed 10,000 people.

But the country "The dispute between the factions annoyed Hideki Tojo, and in the face of the battle of Changsha, the miscalculation of the small headquarters and the discordant voice with the dispatch army made the contradictions accumulate unconsciously, and in the face of sharp contradictions, the 6 phases and the 6 provincial personnel who lost their voices collectively made Tojo Hideki feel a little strange, although the 6 phases were only one of the cabinet members, but they often crossed the cabinet and existed.

Hideki Tojo is different from the generals below, he is responsible for the future of the entire cabinet and the Yamato nation as the prime minister, and he also needs to pay attention to the movements of the royalist faction1 The emperor must not be allowed to weaken the power of the self-dagger and the cabinet, the emperor can be used as a spiritual symbol of the Yamato nation, but the power is still in his own hands.

Hideki Tojo also understood that although he tried to turn the emperor into a spiritual symbol, the supremacy of the emperor's imperial power had penetrated into the hearts of the Japanese people and even the military, and the core of the bushido spirit was loyalty to the emperor.

Therefore, Hideki Tojo was destined to swing only in a limited space, and the cabinet and the emperor seemed to be playing "shogi" all along.

In the same way, if you come and take a step, I will take a step back, and I will take a step back, and the two sides have maintained a delicate balance.

But now the tide of the war was already turning against the Empire, especially with the Allied forces advancing in the Pacific theater, and if Okinawa was lost, the mainland would have to face the Allied Noboru 6 directly, especially the invasion of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and the thought of these1 reminded me of the previous assurances to the subjects at home.

Now not only have the large and medium-sized cities on the mainland been bombed into ruins by the Allied Air Force, but even the 6 places will be unsafe, Hideki Tojo sighed helplessly Tojo Hideki gently stroked the map with his hand, compared to the Qin year, the empire's territory has shrunk a lot, the imperial navy has been left with three out of ten, and the imperial 6th army has been said to be bad luck since the tun year, many division commanders have been killed one after another, and even the commander of the 11th army, Yokoyama Isamu, was killed in an accidental attack in Changsha.

Glancing at the gray three-story European-style building of the staff headquarters in the night, Hideki Ijo, who was deeply tired, ordered Adjutant Suzuki to prepare the car, and he was going back to the official residence tonight.

Hideki Tojo, who returned to the residence, changed into a navy blue kimono, Hideki Tojo, who was alone, poured himself a glass of sake, and the adjutant Suzuki prepared a plate of fresh tuna flakes for Hideki Tojo very warmly.

Hideki Tojo looked at the tuna flakes and smiled with difficulty: "Good things, it's really a blessing, but for a difficult time like this, this is still too extravagant."

Suzuki's embarrassed Hui smiled and said, "Your Excellency, this is sent by our family, and now few fishermen are able to go to sea, and even if they go out of the sea, it is difficult to come back alive."

Tojo Hideki looked at the coarse porcelain wine cup in front of him with the turquoise color of Kyushu rice head sake, he is not a person who likes to pursue enjoyment, and the furnishings in the official residence are also very simple, in addition to liking the things in the cup and sashimi, the three meals on weekdays are just a small bowl of brown rice with a piece of radish pickles, and it is scalded with boiling water, it can be said that Tojo Hideki's life most of the time is even worse than that of an ordinary farmer.

However, Hideki Tojo's pursuit of power has not relaxed for a moment, and Hideki Tojo was born in Iwate Prefecture into a samurai family.

Soon after his birth, his family moved to Tokyo.

His father, Lieutenant General Hidekyo Tojo, was a graduate of the first phase of the 6th Military University in Japan and a protégé of Major Merkel of Germany.

He participated in the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and is a master of the art of war and tactics.

Because he was squeezed out by the army's Choshu valve, he died without will.

As a teenager, Hideki Tojo attended Yotsuya Elementary School in Tokyo, Gakushuin Elementary School, Johoku Junior High School, Tokyo 6th Army Local Kindergarten School, and 6th Army Central Kindergarten School.

Kenichiro Fukai, the old principal of his elementary school period, recalled that Tojo Hideki at that time once said, "Tojo-kun belongs to the nest of good fights."

It's about grades.

It can't be ranked in the top one or two, but in terms of tenacity and refusal to admit defeat, it is indeed the first. ” It can be said that Hideki Tojo has never conceded defeat, and failure in his life belief is extremely shameful.

Hideki Tojo picked up a piece of sashimi with his hand and threw it into his mouth, took the sake in front of him and drank it all, the sake with a slight bitterness reminded him of the glorious 1 year of the Great Japanese Empire, the Great Japanese Imperial Army successfully attacked the main force of the US Pacific Fleet, swept through most of China, the entire Pacific, Southeast Asia and Indochina, and was about to hit the door of British Australia Hideki Tojo poured himself another glass of sake, and in his memory, the glory of the empire seemed to have been crumbling since the beginning of the first year in Burma, and a small man named Song Yuhang gradually came to the fore, from an unknown lieutenant colonel to a member of the Chinese government army in just three years, and maintained a very good relationship with the Americans.

Hideki Tojo touched his chin with a very characteristic knife face, and after thinking about it, Hideki Tojo decided to arrange a time to have a detailed discussion with the commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, General Mura Ningji, and the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Yamada Otozo, because the empire is already facing a huge crisis, once the Chinese Expeditionary Force approaches the 6th mainland, then His Majesty the Emperor and the headquarters of the base camp need to be transferred immediately, and Manchukuo and China, which have great depth, are the best choices
