Age of Rebirth

Kawashima was thinking blankly, breaking apart and crushing all the things that happened this morning, and strung them together, and came to the conclusion that Commander Ito was fooled by Tang Qiuli, the devil of China. Of course, including myself, this Chinese demon Tang Qiuli, with endless means, every step is aimed at Commander Ito's psychological weakness, prescribing the right medicine, it's terrible.

This hindsight, Kawashima knows its weight, if he is outspoken, wouldn't it be a fool to say that Commander Ito is an idiot?After thinking about it again and again, Kawashima decided that he could not say that he believed in the wisdom of His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, just like himself, would discover the pitfalls, and self-awareness is much deeper than being reminded by others.

What's more, as a subordinate of His Excellency the General, I am suspected of being a show off. If one is not good, the scapegoat of repeated defeats may be blamed on myself. Isn't that a fire to burn yourself? It's a fool's thing.

Kawashima picked up the phone heavily, "Commander-in-Chief, the air battle in Yangon is over. The air force raided the air formation at the tank troop assembly area of ​​the Independent Division. All of them were broken. The commander of the team, Takasaki Osamu, died for the country. The tanks of the Independent Division, No losses were incurred."

Things that need to be known sooner or later, such a secret cannot be kept. Therefore, Kawashima did not intend to beat around the bush, and directly stated the result. Then, he took the phone receiver and bared his ears, ready to bear the thunderous wrath of His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. [

Unexpectedly, Ito did not speak for a long time, and then said in a weak voice, "Kawashima-kun, you have worked hard, you rush back to the headquarters, let's study the next step of the battle plan," Kawashima was stunned, from General Ito didn't show any anger when he was defeated from early morning to noon, which is too abnormal.

If Commander-in-Chief Ito loses his temper, yells on the phone, scolds the world, and even yells at himself.Chuan Dao would not be surprised to be sent to a military court, but it was so silent, in Chuan Dao's heart.On the contrary, he was at a loss. He couldn't figure out what the moody boss was planning, so he rushed back to the dispatched army headquarters in a state of anxiety.

Ito was a hundred times more depressed and disturbed than Kawashima. He asked the military police commander who was in charge of hunting down the scouts of the Independent Division in Yangon City.How is the hunting operation going? Answering his message made Ito furious, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, after more than 50 hours of city-wide raids, except for the 37 independent division scouts who were killed, I have no news about the rest. You The designated area has been searched and no trace of the enemy has been found."

This gendarmerie commander.I also added a metaphor very vividly, "From the humble point of view, the remaining scouts of the Independent Division seem to have evaporated from the world." [-]. One Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, what kind of stupid pig plus idiot, brain disabled plus low energy, premature birth with polio.Your mother cheated, your wife gave you a cuckold, etc.

Anyway, it was Japan's national curse, and from the mouth of General Ito, it was like a torrent of water, rushing out, and the curse was hearty.The saliva wet the phone receiver. In the end, he ordered the hapless gendarmerie commander to dig Yangon three feet into the ground and find the scouts of the Independent Division who were hiding like mice. Just take your head to count, and you can't even apologize for committing suicide by caesarean section.

His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, who had just put down the phone, had a parched mouth, and before he had time to drink his saliva and catch his breath, the communications staff added fuel to the fire and sent a telegram from Lieutenant General Nomura, the commander of the dispatched air force.

After reading the telegram, Ito's smoldering fire that had not dissipated became more and more blazing. The flames sprayed from his nostrils, ears and eyes. The little staff officer who sent the telegram couldn't see the height of his eyebrows, nor did he notice Ito's face. They all turned purple, and added, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Commander Nomura is anxiously waiting for a call back."

Okay, just this sentence ignited Ito's anger. Unfortunately, the little staff officer became the commander-in-chief, the target of venting his anger. The little staff officer, bleeding from his mouth, rolled his eyes, and fainted on the spot.

General Ito didn't even look at it, and ordered the guards, "Drag out!" Two guards with big arms and round waists came up, like dragging dead dogs, and dragged the little staff officer who was still in a coma backwards.

It's no wonder Ito was angry, Lieutenant General Nomura's telegram was too outrageous, "General Ito, this time your Excellency ordered the air force to go into battle, only to have the result of annihilation. I have reminded beforehand that the air force does not have the ability to immediately The ability to participate in the battle of Rangoon, but your Excellency turned a deaf ear to it, causing the newly recovered air force to lose a quarter of its aircraft and excellent pilots. Obviously, your Excellency does not understand the basic principles of aviation operations. I will reserve it to the Aviation Department of the headquarters The right to appeal, I will also send the original text of your order to the headquarters."

I didn’t even call Ito’s official title, so I just added a few words, “It’s because of your layman and idiot’s blind command that I lost so many planes and pilots, so I can take care of myself and wait for my letter of complaint. Let’s go to Go to the headquarters to file a lawsuit! We have evidence."

Ito was about to go mad with anger, this bastard Nomura, the head officer, dared to threaten himself, it was against the sky!Fuck I want such a result?Although the Air Force has a dual command system, with the Aviation Department of the Base Camp hanging on it, you, Nomura, are still under my command, and your Air Force is still the order of battle of my Southeast Asian Expeditionary Army.

Therefore, Ito's call back to Nomura was very simple, "You lost the first air battle in Yangon. As the direct commander, you, Nomura, cannot absolve yourself of the responsibility. I will hold you accountable for the failure. If you consider resigning, I will give you a A decent reason for stepping down, otherwise, you will not be able to escape the military law of our Southeast Asian dispatched army, so you can do it yourself, think carefully, and don’t need to reply immediately, I will give you a day, and then my military police will go to Hainan Island.”

Gritting his teeth and replying the telegram to Nomura, Ito was so angry and dizzy, he didn't even think about it, Yangon was surrounded by independent division troops on three sides, and his gendarmes flew over with long wings?Therefore, what he threatened Nomura was just empty talk, and he could only express his anger through telegrams.

After receiving a call from Chief of Staff Kawashima, Ito was sore all over his body, as if his bones and tendons had been pulled out, and he had no strength to lose his temper. He had to consider a serious consequence. Before the reinforcements arrived, whether the Royal Army in Yangon could Holding back the independent division troops, similar to today's attack, he lost his troops, but Tang Qiuli's troops retreated completely.

Of course, there are reasons for his impatience, but the exposed combat effectiveness and attacking capabilities of the independent division, the powerful artillery advantage, and the use of armored troops all make Ito feel uneasy. During a series of battles, he was eager for success, but he refused to admit that he had been fooled by Tang Qiuli.

He attributed all these failures to the inferiority of troops and firepower. If he had so many planes, cannons, and tanks, and nearly a million soldiers, if he commanded himself, he would be able to control the enemy with ease. I can go, Ito has never been like this, looking forward to the reinforcements of the four divisions and the arrival of the Navy's Third Fleet, although it is not quite the same as Hasegawa Kiyoshi.

Before the reinforcements arrive, Ito has to find a way to defend Yangon, even though he knows that it is difficult. It is not to turn Yangon into ruins, send more than 20 soldiers, and all the jade pieces will solve the problem. I am afraid that by then The rubble everywhere and the corpses of soldiers from the Imperial Army could not stop the soldiers of the Independent Division and Tang Qiuli's determination to capture Yangon.

Ito thought hard, and there was no better way. As for the outer trench, the artillery of the independent division bombed it at night and forced the Burmese coolies to repair it during the day. The assault by the tank unit of the Independent Division lost the outer trench, which meant that the first line of defense on the outskirts of the city was quickly broken through. [

The following street battles were not very good. Ito had seen the power of the independent division's artillery fire, and the strength of those street fortifications and firepower points. Ito knew better. , with the ability to blast every attack line with cannons.

If Ito knew that Tang Qiuli didn't want to blow up Yangon into ruins, and he didn't launch a general attack for a long time, his heart would be firmly in his stomach, and he wouldn't be so worried that his intestines would break like he is now up.

Chief of Staff Kawashima came back, and reluctantly stepped into the war room. First, he observed Ito's face and expression, and found that there was no sign of anger or cannibalism. He felt a little relieved, and said cautiously: "Commander-in-Chief Officer, I'm back."

Ito woke up from the state of contemplation, saw Kawashima, his eyes lit up, and he greeted him cordially: "Kawashima-san has worked hard, please sit down." Kawashima was a little flattered, and didn't know why he was treated like this.

Ito was so angry with that bastard Nomura just now. When he saw Kawashima, the chief of staff who had never complained and devoted himself to running for him, he was so kind. However, Ito also felt that this was due to exhaustion and exhaustion. Compared with Nomura, Kawashima was undoubtedly his most trustworthy confidant.

Ito also didn't care about putting on airs of the commander-in-chief, and shook out all his troubles and worries. He himself had nothing to do, and hoped that Kawashima could find a good way to support the arrival of reinforcements.

Kawashima was very moved. This is the trust that the General has placed in him. After Ito finished speaking, he looked at Kawashima who was racking his brains eagerly, as if he could see a trick in his pocket from his knife-like face.

Suddenly, Kawashima raised his head, his eyes gleamed with a dark and cold light, and he watched Ito tense. Kawashima said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I have a way to ensure that the Yangon defense line is as solid as gold."
