All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 327, the influence of traitors
"Didi, Didi, Didi..."

It was late at night, and the telegraph room of the division was still brightly lit and busy.

When he got the latest telegram, he glanced at the head of the department, his expression changed drastically, and he hurried to the meeting room.

The conference room was also brightly lit and busy.

The officers of the headquarters work when the sun rises and do not rest when the sun sets.

In every fierce battle, there are countless things: army dispatching, material distribution and delivery, collection and analysis of enemy intelligence...

Everything is about winning or losing the battle.

A negligence of the senior officers of the command headquarters may cause hundreds of thousands of casualties to the frontline combat troops.

Therefore, everything should be dealt with in a timely manner without any mistakes.

For this reason, being busy day and night is a matter of course.

"General, the casualties of the Third Infantry Battalion have been counted." A staff officer handed the document to the infantry regiment commander, Major General Pota Shizuo.

It turned out that the third infantry brigade was not full, with only more than 980 people.

In fact, in combat, casualties, wounds, and illnesses make shortages of troops quite common due to various factors.

Shizuo Pota glanced at the number of casualties, and his face turned dark instantly.

Even though he knew that the loss of the defeat would be huge and he had a certain amount of psychological construction, seeing the specific casualties was still difficult for him to accept.

610 three people, including 110 three lightly and seriously wounded, mostly seriously wounded.

A single battle immediately lost two-thirds of an entire infantry brigade, completely losing the ability to continue fighting.

If it was a protracted battle, or caused greater casualties to the enemy, it would be acceptable.

The key battle is one-sided.

In less than an hour, it became like this.

Words such as fish belly army and mob are not enough to describe their failure.

Shizuo Pota got angry for a while, and he soon regained his senses. Of course, he knew that the combat effectiveness of the Third Infantry Battalion was not as bad as it was in this battle.

The leader of the regiment, Keiya Yamashita, is capable of running the army, and he is not leading a third-rate defensive regiment.

The enemy is too strong.

The ghost cannons attacked overwhelmingly, and the chariot troops stormed the camp unexpectedly.

Whoever sticks to it will not be better than Shao Zuo Anyuan Taro.

Finding the division commander Hiroshi Watanabe who was staring at the map and thinking about it, Shizuo Pota fully confided his judgment on this battle.

Pota Shizuo believes: "The combat power shown by the enemy this time has not been taken into account in the previous combat deployment, which may lead to the failure of our army."

"That's right, that's what I was going to tell you."

In the afternoon, Hiroshi Watanabe re-read the telegram sent back by Lieutenant Mitsui, who was chasing the [-]th Division, after the failure of the battle.

They didn't pay too much attention last time. According to common sense, they only think that deploying more anti-tank weapons and preparing in advance will definitely be able to stop the enemy's tank troops from attacking.

Now it seems that the enemy is underestimated.

It is necessary to recalculate the ghost cannon's ability to suppress the first-line positions.

If the enemy is expected to be lenient, the assault capability of the enemy's tank troops should be strengthened by about [-]%, and the front-line combat troops should be increased proportionally to increase the intensity of anti-tank operations.

The two generals who had fought for half their lives quickly reached an agreement.

"Then the third infantry brigade, let's retreat to the rear to rest." Hiroshi Watanabe looked at the number of casualties and arranged.

In such a situation, the morale has collapsed, and staying here is not only useless, but also a burden.

Shizuo Pota sighed: "Taro Anyuan was born in a poor family. He was a very hard-working soldier. He never died or died. Only his gun was left at the scene. It's a pity."

For soldiers who are disabled, killed in action, or missing, the payment of pensions is completely different.

The pension for missing persons is more than double that of those killed in action.

And in China, the families of soldiers who died in battle can get more preferential treatment, but it is not the same for missing soldiers.

Whether it is missing or killed in action has too much impact and is very important to the family members.

After some consideration, Mr. Watanabe decided to count Anyuan Taro as killed in battle.

"He sacrificed for the country, and he cannot stick to the rules and not be flexible, not to mention that his family needs a death notice."

"Yes, his body was taken away and insulted by the enemy, and his soul can't rest in peace. It is only natural to take care of one or two, and the hearts of the soldiers should not be chilled." Potian Shizuo nodded and said with emotion.

Suddenly the director of the telecommunications department walked in: "Report, the latest information on the enemy."

Any information about the Yuchuan Army must be reported as soon as possible.

For this enemy, they have never paid more attention to it.

The telegram was handed over to Mr. Watanabe, and after reading the latest information sent by the spies stationed in the Sichuan Army camp, he couldn't help but curse:

"Baga! Lu! Traitor, die!"

As for making such a big fuss, who betrayed?
Pota Shizuo took the telegram and quickly glanced at it, gritted his teeth and said two words: "Damn it!"

There is only one key piece of information in the intelligence: the chariot troop from the expedition returned and brought back the rebellious Japanese officer. It was confirmed that he was Major Anyuan, the commander of the Third Infantry Battalion.

Mutiny alone is enough to be hated, plus the loss of an infantry brigade.

The two generals who had sympathized with him just now felt as disgusted as they ate flies.

Mr. Watanabe held back his anger and couldn't let it out, his eyeballs were protruding, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Report immediately. Since you are a traitor, you must be mentally prepared to be a traitor. Let your family be implicated by him, and let him fall into regret forever!"

"Yes, start sending the report immediately."

Shizuo Pota couldn't agree any more. A traitor, a wolf-hearted thing, did not commit suicide and apologize after losing the battle, and even defected to the enemy.

It is still impossible to punish him severely, so naturally he has to charge his family some interest.

There is also the statistical data of the third brigade. What is the intention of sending an inquiry telegram to excuse a traitor?

In fact, this is purely a misunderstanding.

All the brigades of the Third Infantry Brigade were wiped out, and Major An Yuan, who was retreating at the time, obviously could not be spared.

In addition to the fact that the guns were left on the battlefield, the officers who made the statistics below came to that conclusion after brainstorming.

It can't be said to be outrageous.

After all, they usually treat the enemy like that, using the enemy's corpse to create terror, and if you think about it in another way, you will feel that the enemy is as cruel as them.

After the director of the telecommunications department leaves.

Mr. Watanabe couldn't bear the anger in his heart anymore, he drew out the samurai sword on the knife holder, and hacked back and forth at the vases and earthen jars decorated in the interior.

It seemed that Major Anyuan regarded them as traitors, and it was not enough to vent his anger if he didn't chop them up.

With the sound of broken porcelain and angry cursing, the officers in the large conference room next door froze for an instant, as if they had pressed the pause button.

Who offended the general and made such a big fuss?
In everyone's impression, the division commander, Lieutenant General Watanabe Hiroshi, is a calm and majestic officer, and it is rare to hear that anyone has seen him lose his temper.

Let alone such a big fire.

The director of the telecommunications department who had just walked out of that room was surrounded by people who saw him and questioned him. Everyone knew what was going on and immediately understood the general's anger.

Surrender < mutiny
Ordinary soldier mutiny < junior officer mutiny
Since the start of the war, there have been many soldiers who were defeated and surrendered, and some were brainwashed and rebelled by the enemy.

After all, the number is not very large. If the army base is large, there will be everyone, but there will be more cowardly and weak-willed ones.

Furthermore, even if the soldiers surrendered and rebelled, the harm caused would not be very great.

They don't have much influence, don't know much, and at most become a number or a story in the enemy's newspaper.

However, it is very rare for officers to surrender in battle, especially middle-level officers who have reached the rank of major, and they are almost unheard of.

Not to mention the rebellious ones, it is absolutely certain that they have never appeared before.

Shao Zuo Anyuan surrendered to the enemy and became a traitor again.

Created two firsts, which is considered the first of its kind among the millions of troops in the empire.

Such a scum from the division is destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in military history. When it comes to surrender and rebellion, it will definitely mention their Sixth Division.

This incident had an unprecedented impact on the reputation of their division, so it's no wonder the general is not annoyed.

Moreover, the traitor appeared when Hiro Watanabe was the head of the division. Can he end up well?
One cannot escape responsibility for mismanagement.

If this matter spreads out, it will definitely become a laughing stock, and Hiroshi Watanabe will definitely become the object of ridicule.

Although not many people dare to laugh at him face to face, but behind the scenes?
His words were terrifying, thinking that he would become a laughing stock, Watanabe felt that he would tear Shao Zuo An Yuan alive.

After a while, the whole house was about to be demolished. The knife was blunt and there were large and small gaps, and all the energy was exhausted.

Mr. Watanabe leaned on a samurai sword, and his body was slumped on the chair. After venting his anger, his whole body was exhausted.

Potian Shizuo stood quietly at the door, not even daring to take a breath, let alone disturb him now.

Seeing Mr. Watanabe demolishing the house like crazy just now, he was really worried that he would be hacked, it was really scary.

In comparison, Shizuo Pota is quite calm.

The traitor's direct boss is the captain of the regiment, Yamashita Keiya, and people must be talking about the leader Hiroshi Watanabe.

As the commander of the infantry, Shizuo Pota was not greatly affected by being caught in the middle.

It's not a sharp pain, so he can still calm down.

Being nailed to the pillar of shame, how the higher-ups will treat them can be roughly predicted.

What impact will Anyuan Taro's rebellion have on the upcoming battle?

It's hard to say.

As an officer at the captain level, he must have a general understanding of the situation of the entire division in his mind.

For the [-]th Alliance, it must be very precious.

The enemy may know information such as the combat effectiveness of the troops, the character of the upper and middle officers at all levels, and the command style.

The leakage of these intelligences makes it easy for the enemy to find weaknesses and conduct targeted operations.

is quite unfavorable.

However, the most urgent thing right now is to confirm, how much do the traitors know about the deployment of this war?
Based on the intelligence known to the traitor, how much could the enemy possibly analyze?
If it is determined that the intelligence leak is serious and the previous combat strategy is completely overturned, the losses will be immeasurable.

Mr. Watanabe's mind gradually regained clarity: "This traitor, I really don't understand why he rebelled. It's so irritating. I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

The familiar head of the division came back, and Shizuo Pota came back to his senses and felt a little more at ease, and echoed and said some words of approval and comfort.

"Pota-san, tell me what impact the traitor will have? What do we need to do?"

Mr. Watanabe was dazzled by the anger, and his head still hurts.

Facing his question, Shizuo Pota shared what he had thought before: "The most urgent thing is to find out about this matter. I think we should immediately call Yamashita Takaya and let him make a report in person."

"That's right, there is a big traitor under him, and he must be held accountable for improper control!" Mr. Watanabe said viciously.

He became a victim for no reason. Of course, the scapegoat must be thrown out and the person directly responsible should be held accountable.

Pota Shizuo heard the implication, and asked tentatively: "What about the alliance he leads?"

Watanabe thought for a while and said: "Leave it to Takeuchi Lianshan. Although he has suffered a complete defeat, it doesn't mean that he lacks command ability.
It's just that the enemies encountered are too strong, which is an unexpected situation.

He has performed well recently, and he is very concerned about the enemy, so he should be given a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. "

The [-]th Wing is not the most important in the overall combat deployment.

It is a taboo to temporarily change generals before the war. The good thing is to replace only one person, and the headquarters and staff system of the wing is still in operation.

Changing to Takeuchi Lianshan, who once served as the captain of the Yulian, should be able to enter the state soon, and it will not have a great impact on the overall combat effectiveness of the army.

Pota Shizuo sympathized with Yamashita Keiya very much in his heart. He himself did nothing wrong, and he was dismissed for being confused.

However, Takeuchi Lianshan was quite lucky, at least he had the possibility of a comeback.

Otherwise, once the war is over, he will definitely be sent to a military court and face a cruel trial.

A major's mutiny caused the entire command post of the Sixth Division to dance around all night.

Yamashita Keiya also took a transport plane to report on his duties. As a result, the traitors knew part of the combat deployment, which caused the entire deployment of the [-]th Wing to be adjusted.

When Yamashita Keiya had just walked out of the conference room, military police surrounded him and wanted to take him to Yangon, and the headquarters of the [-]th Army was under investigation.

Only now did he realize that he was going to take the blame for the general.

I won't mention the annoyance and regret, because no matter from any point of view, he is the most suitable person to take the blame.

The war is approaching, and the division commander Hiroshi Watanabe is irreplaceable at this time, and he, the regiment leader, is irreplaceable.

If you lose your horse, you will know no blessings.

The next day, the Tianchuan Corps took the initiative to launch an attack, and the battle situation immediately fell into a heated state. I don't know how many Japanese soldiers will be hanged by the war.

At the very least, Yamashita Keiya didn't have to lose a lot of hair because of the decline of the war situation.
