Chapter 1230 Inaba Shiro's decision!
So the question is, after landing in Japan, how did General MacArthur tear off Emperor Hirohito's "god coat"?This has to talk about the story that happened before the US military landed.

In fact, as early as after Emperor Hirohito of Japan announced his surrender, MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, began to contact Emperor Hirohito. At that time, Britain, the Soviet Union, and many countries including China demanded that the Emperor be tried and that he should be judged in the Far East military court. Emperor Hirohito was executed in the trial, but MacArthur defended the emperor.

So, why did MacArthur try to protect the war criminal Emperor Hirohito who seemed to be near the end of the road and the initiator of the war at that time?This started when MacArthur landed on the Japanese mainland. When MacArthur went to accept the surrender, he brought only 22 U.S. troops with him, while there were as many as 30 divisions of the Japanese army near Tokyo, totaling more than [-] people. As long as the Japanese army has the idea of ​​resistance, MacArthur and the four thousand American troops will die without a place to die.

Originally, before MacArthur landed, he wanted to consider how to let the more than 30 Japanese troops disarm safely and then try Emperor Hirohito, but when MacArthur stepped into Atsugi Airport in Tokyo Bay as the ruler, he changed his mind. He was shocked by the scene in front of him—it turned out that on both sides of the road leading from the airport to Yokohama, two divisions of the Japanese army, with a total of more than 3 soldiers, lined the road to welcome them. They were fully armed and turned their backs to MacArthur. It was easy to turn around and shoot MacArthur coldly, but this kind of worry was obviously unnecessary. The Japanese soldiers who greeted them along the way were all respectful and respectful. This was the treatment only the emperor could enjoy, which made MacArthur deeply feel the emperor's "God" exists.

At that time, MacArthur knew in his heart that as long as the emperor raised his arms, all the Japanese would charge and die for him without hesitation. He had seen this kind of situation a lot, fighting all the way from Melbourne, Australia to Tokyo, those stubborn He has seen too many Japanese; similarly, he also knows that as long as the emperor gives an order, no matter how cruel the soldiers are, they will obediently put down their weapons and accept their adaptations.

If Emperor Hirohito is brought to court, it will inevitably cause riots and riots among the Japanese people, and President Truman sent him here to take over Japan, to use American ideas to transform the minds of Japanese people, so as to achieve what they do not want The purpose of becoming an enemy of the United States again is not to hack the emperor to death.Therefore, MacArthur believed that it was necessary to maintain the emperor's rule and maintain Japan's stability.This is why MacArthur tried his best to protect the emperor.

Similarly, the emperor did not want to die, so Hirohito could only rely on MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, to keep his life, because he knew that too many people wanted him to die.

In order to allow the Allied Forces to take over Japan better, and in order to withstand the pressure from the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, MacArthur came up with a good idea, which was to ask the emperor to issue a declaration to tear off his "godhead".

Henceforth, a statement called "Declaration of the Human World" came out. In this statement, Emperor Hirohito denied the godhood, denied the status of the emperor as "the god of the modern world", and declared that the emperor is also an ordinary person with only human nature. , this statement also greatly weakened the loyalty of the Japanese people to the monarch in a certain sense...

Cough cough cough... It's a bit far away, the book returns to the main story.

The Japanese army at this time was not the Japanese army after Emperor Hirohito had published the "Declaration of the Human World". They not only worshiped the Emperor extremely, but believed that the "God of the Modern World" would allow them to go to heaven after death and live a good life. .

Therefore, these Japanese troops are not afraid of death, especially those who are the backbone of the standing divisions, such as the Sixth Division, have been brainwashed most thoroughly.

Under the order of Mizuo Ozawa, Captain of the First Battalion of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, the Japanese troops began to contain the national army troops in front of them in small groups, and then sent other troops to abandon the battle on horseback and take the upper peak of Hulukou. At the same time, the second brigade and a part of the third brigade set off from another road to help Yuankou Town.

In addition to taking these preparatory measures, Ozawa Mizuo also ordered the telegraph operator to call the division headquarters to inform Kumamoto Kenji that the captain of the regiment had "broken jade" and the fact that he was commanding the cavalry regiment to fight.

Of course, Mizuo Ozawa ordered this telegram not only to report the battle situation on the front line in a timely manner, but more importantly, he had to prepare for the next step of being promoted to the captain of the cavalry regiment!
Yes, just be prepared!If this battle was won under the command of him, Mizuo Ozawa, then besides him, who else is qualified to take this position?
……

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the news that the reinforcements were blocked finally reached the headquarters of the Sixth Division in Yueyang.

After the combat staff reported the incident, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro, the head of the division, had a cloudy expression all the time, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Finally, Inaba Shiro couldn't bear it anymore, he slapped the table in front of him hard, and there was a crisp "slap" sound, and he cursed viciously: "Baga Yalu! Damn the speed of the Chinese army's movement!" It's so fast! This must have been a premeditated action! Such an action is very similar to the scene of the No.40 Fifth Regiment Masao Kumamoto's "Jade Broken"..."

Cursing and cursing, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro gradually calmed down. He felt that this matter was not that simple, and most importantly, cursing was useless...that was incompetent rage...

"Reporting to your Excellency, Division Commander, I believe that it is possible that the main force of the No.15 Chinese Army Group Army has crossed the river. All signs indicate that the Chinese Army has most likely dispatched no less than one division of troops! The report is over! The combat staff officer stood at attention and lowered his head, for fear that if he said something wrong, he would be slapped by the head of the division.

Inaba Shiro narrowed his eyes slightly, and came to a conclusion: "It is very unlikely that the main force of the No. 15 Army of the Chinese Army will go north, but it is not impossible. They must be coordinating with Suixian and Zaoyang areas. These Chinese people are really generous. They dispatched three armies, more than 50 troops, to launch this battle, and even used troops north of Changsha. If this is the case, my troops will not be able to reinforce them. ..."

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what should we do? Please explain clearly." The combat staff officer asked.

I saw Inaba Shiro's face turned serious, and said: "Order, the No. 13 Wing and the No. 40 Seventh Wing will form a fast column, no longer support the battle in Yuankou Town, and instead go straight to the Xinqiang River to attack China. Advance troops before the army! The No.20 Third Regiment together with the Cavalry Regiment and the Special Forces (Poison Gas Troops) go straight to Yuankou Town! The No.40 Fifth Regiment (reconstruction) all stay behind in Yueyang!"

"Hay!!" The combat staff responded.

I have to say that Inaba Shiro's decision is really bold, but why isn't he confident in his troops?Although he lost an entire infantry regiment before, it didn't break his confidence in his troops!

……

PS: The second one will be sent!
