Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

The Ninth Army used the exercise as a cover to deceive the Japanese Super High School and everyone, and secretly assembled heavy troops to the Liaodong Peninsula.As a result, there was enough strength and troops to launch an attack suddenly, and the Japanese Kwantung Army was caught off guard, so that the Japanese Kwantung Army had to give up the benefits it had already obtained.

For such a major intelligence error, if one were to find a scapegoat, Major General Yasuji Okamura, the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, who was in charge of the intelligence agencies of the Kwantung Army, would undoubtedly be the best choice.

Therefore, in order to protect himself wisely, and to prevent the commander-in-chief from venting the anger of defeat on the battlefield on himself.During the meeting that lasted more than an hour, Okamura Ningji, who has always been outstanding in strategy, had to stand in the most inconspicuous position in the war room like a puppet, without saying a word, waiting for the end of the meeting, hoping to overcome this difficulty ...>

Of course, not speaking does not mean that Major General Neiji Okamura has no thoughts...

When Chief of Staff Koiso Kuniaki introduced the latest situation in the three northeastern provinces.Ningji Okamura was also thinking about a way to help the Kwantung Army get out of the immediate predicament. [

As the number one war criminal of the Japanese invaders a few years later, Neiji Okamura's ingenuity was definitely not inferior to that of Chief of Staff Koiso Kuniaki.Before the chief of staff expressed his thoughts, Major General Ningji Okamura had already had most of the same thoughts as the chief of staff.

Not only that, Major General Neiji Okamura is confident that the ideas in his mind are definitely more perfect than the chief of staff.Let the Kwantung Army obtain the greatest benefits in the three northeastern provinces, and at the same time form a system to eliminate an offensive force of the Ninth Army. With the humiliation that the Kwantung Army has suffered in front of the Ninth Army many times, fight a big battle that can turn the Kwantung Army over. battle.

In order to restore his position within the Kwantung Army.Also in order to recover the huge losses caused by his own mistakes to the Kwantung Army.Just when the combat meeting was about to end, Major General Neiji Okamura summoned up his courage.Stand up very decisively.

Under the surprised eyes of all the officers and colleagues, including Honjo Shigeru, Okamura Ningji said: "Report to the officer. I have something to say... >

Perhaps it was Shigeru Honjo and the chief of staff who frightened these subordinates just now with the bloody methods against Major General Shimizu.Facing Neiji Okamura's request, no one opened his mouth to sarcasm.General Honjo Fan, the commander-in-chief, took a deep look at the young military officer who he pulled up with one hand in front of him, and decided to give this subordinate a chance, and ordered in a deep voice: "Say...>

"Thank you, sir..." Deputy Chief Ning Okamura breathed a sigh of relief, and replied gratefully to General Honjo Shigeru.

Then, ignoring the surprised eyes of his colleagues, he walked to the map very unexpectedly.He opened the mouth and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, Chief of Staff, I dare to think that our final combat layout against the offensive force of the Ninth Army of China in Sinuiju should be more daring. Chinese troops in the territory...>

In the war room, everyone was stunned by Neiji Okamura's thought.

The chief of staff, Koiso Kunizaki, was just about to speak, but his face was full of arrogance.When Neiji Okamura, who denied his point of view, was beating and scolding.General Shigeru Honjo, who was anxious to win back the honor of the Kwantung Army through a victory, his eyes lit up with a hint of hope.He asked Neiji Okamura.

"To wipe out this Chinese army that entered North Korea...>

"Romper...>

"Everything I just said is true...>

I have just clearly analyzed to everyone that with the Kwantung Army's current strength, it can only find a way to force back the Chinese army that invaded North Korea.And now, Neiji Okamura, as his subordinate, actually said that the Kwantung Army has the strength to wipe out these Chinese troops. Isn't this a slap in the face in front of everyone in the headquarters... >

Lieutenant General Xiaoiso Kunizhao, who was full of anger in his heart, no longer cared about Honzhuang Shige's stop, and cursed loudly: "Arrogance...>

Immediately, facing Ningji Okamura in front of him, he asked back with a sneer: "Major General Okamura, do you know what you are talking about...>

Major General Ningji Okamura was not frightened, and under the gaze of the chief of staff who was full of anger, he said calmly: "Report to the chief of staff, with the current strength of our Kwantung Army, we really do not have the strength to wipe out this army." Chinese army. But everyone, don’t forget that in addition to the five main divisions of our Kwantung Army, there is another unit that can be put into use immediately... >

"There are troops, how can I, the commander-in-chief, not know...>

At the same time, all the officers, including Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Koiso Kuniaki, cast a look of doubt and puzzlement at Major General Neji Okamura.

Rear Admiral Okamura Ningji met everyone's gaze and explained: "Sir, I believe that the three army divisions of the local reinforcements who have not yet had time to go ashore can completely land in Sinuiju. Under the cover of the carrier plane, attack the Chinese army in North Korea from the flank...>

The eyes of General Honjo Fan, the commander-in-chief, lit up, and a huge and complete battle idea quickly appeared in his mind.Facing the chief of staff beside him, he asked thoughtfully: "Chief of staff, according to the itinerary, reinforcements from the mainland should have landed in North Korea. But why haven't I received any news about this... >

Chief of Staff Xiaoji Guozhao hurriedly stood up and said: "Commander-in-Chief, the situation is like this... because the Commander-in-Chief is busy fighting in the three northeastern provinces. I am worried that this matter will affect your commander-in-chief's combat thinking , so I made my own decisions. Did not report to you...>

"According to the telegram sent by Lieutenant General Otani, the commander of the escort fleet, the fleet escorting the local reinforcements. At the naval ports we agreed in advance, they were attacked by unknown mines and could not dock. So, so far, the entire escort fleet , Throwing away in the coastal area of ​​North Korea, looking for a suitable landing point, covering three field divisions for landing...>

"Mine attack...>

Then, facing Major General Ningji Okamura, he asked sharply: "Mr. Okamura, you are in charge of our Kwantung Army's intelligence agency. Have you investigated clearly which side launched these mines..."

Okamura Ningji quickly stood up and replied: "Report sir, after investigation by my special high-level class, it was found that these mines all came from the Ninth Army of China...>

"An intelligence officer lurking in Qingdao, China, just sent back an intelligence report yesterday. Some ships of the naval fleet under the Chinese Ninth Army secretly left the military port at night three days ago. It was not until a day later that they returned to the military port. Back to the Qingdao military port. After investigation, it was found that the ships that secretly left the military port this time were not only destroyers and transport ships, but also the few minelayers in the Chinese navy fleet..."

A trace of anger full of gunpowder once again hit General Honjo Shigeru's heart.Facing the subordinates in front of him.He opened his mouth again and cursed: "Bageyalu, it's actually the Ninth Army of China again...>

Of course, scolding is scolding, Honjo Shigeru did not forget the topic just now, facing Major General Okamura Ningji, he continued to ask: "Okamura-kun, keep talking, and tell all your thoughts. If you can really wipe out all For the Chinese army that invaded North Korea, I just pleaded with the military and promised to promote your rank to lieutenant general...>

"Thank you Commander-in-Chief for your trust..." Neiji Okamura said gratefully.

Then, pointing to the huge combat map hanging on the wall, he said: "Sir, colleagues. I believe that with the combat effectiveness of the Sinuiju First Division and the Chariot Brigade, under the attack of the Chinese army that invaded North Korea, , Persevere for two days, there is absolutely no problem at all."

"In two days, we can completely ask the escort fleet to transport the three field divisions of the domestic reinforcements to our Kwantung Army to the mouth of the Yalu River, and make a forced landing from the Sinuiju military port. From the side and rear, wēixié the Chinese army in Sinuiju, and demand The escort fleet blocked the retreat of the Chinese army from North Korea on the Yalu River. In the end, with four field divisions, a tank brigade, and a naval escort fleet, they wiped out the Chinese army outside Sinuiju. army...>

A smile quickly appeared on General Honzhuang Fan's face.Facing Neiji Okamura, he looked excited and wanted to say: "Yo Xi, it's very good...>

At this moment, Chief of Staff Kunizaki Koiso asked a mocking question, waking General Shigeru Honjo awake from his dream.Facing Neiji Okamura, he asked mercilessly: "Major General Gangcun, since all other military ports in North Korea have been blocked by the Chinese navy with mines, how can you guarantee that the Sinuiju military port closest to China has not been blocked?" Chinese navy mines blockade…>

Major General Ningji Okamura replied confidently: "Report to the Chief of Staff, even if the Sinuiju military port is blocked by the Chinese Navy with mines, it will not affect the entire battle situation...>

"Tell me your reason...>

Rear Admiral Okamura Neiji pointed to the location of the mouth of the Yalu River on the map, and said, "Report to the commander-in-chief, I can confidently say that even if the Chinese Navy has blocked the Sinuiju military port with torpedoes, it is impossible to block the entire Yalu River entrance." Haikou. And as long as the mouth of the Yalu River is not blocked, our fleet can go upstream along the Yalu River and use small boats to land from the defense line along the river that was just occupied by the Chinese army...>

"Abandon Sinuiju directly, and land from the point where the Chinese army crosses the river...>

Then, he continued to speak: "In addition, relying on the power of the naval escort fleet's naval guns and the powerful naval air force, it is fully capable. Cover the three field divisions from the waterway, retake the defense line along the river, land in North Korea, and encircle North Korea." Chinese troops in the territory...>

"The Commander-in-Chief is wise...>

"Yoxi...>

Chief of Staff Xiaoji Kunizhao directly ignored Shigeru Honjo looking at him, and said in a deep voice, "Although the idea is good, but in my opinion, it is difficult to realize?" [

"Nani, it's hard to achieve... >

Koiso Kuniaki didn't hesitate.Turning around to Neiji Okamura, he asked back: "Mr. Okamura, the contradiction between the Imperial Navy and Army. I believe you should be very clear. Under such circumstances. Do you think that the naval escort fleet will help me for the honor of my army?" Is the Army going to this fight..."

Immediately, all the officers, including the commander-in-chief Honjo Shige, showed sad expressions on their faces.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Okamura Ningji's confident facial expression did not change at all.Facing Shigeru Honjo and Kunizaki Koiso, he said, "Reporting to the two officers, I believe that the naval escort fleet will definitely participate in the battle...>

"I have studied the current commander of the escort fleet, Lieutenant General Otani. As a veteran officer of the Imperial Navy, the biggest reason why he voluntarily requested to be the highest officer of the escort fleet is to take revenge on the Chinese navy through this escort operation. Through this escort Behavior, destroy the Chinese Ninth Army Navy Fleet...>

"As long as the escort fleet participates in this battle, in order for the Chinese army that has invaded North Korea to successfully withdraw from North Korea. The Chinese navy must dispatch all its forces to repel the imperial escort fleet and rescue this lone army...>

"Such a good opportunity to wipe out the Chinese naval fleet, I can say with certainty that Lieutenant General Otani will never give up. Therefore, Lieutenant General Otani will definitely agree to my request for cooperation from the Kwantung Army...>

Seeing Admiral Shigeru Honjo nodded noncommittally, Okamura Ningji continued to speak: "Sir, this is one of them... There is another reason: the naval escort fleet did not even touch the shadow of the Chinese fleet during this escort, so it Under the attack of the mines in the major military ports, one heavy cruiser and four destroyers were lost...>

"With such a huge loss, if Lieutenant General Otani can't come up with some results, he will explain it to the Admiralty. Then, what awaits him must be the trial of the Imperial Military Court...>

"So, from this point of view, the imperial navy fleet that has completed the escort mission will not return home immediately, but will find the main force of the Chinese navy fleet in this sea area and destroy it. However, in the vast sea, if you want to How difficult it is to find this fleet. Rather than looking for this enemy aimlessly in the sea, it is better to cooperate with the Kwantung Army to attract the Chinese Navy fleet to the mouth of the Yalu River and wipe it out..."

Faced with these analyses, General Honzhuang immediately fell into deep thought.After all, his next action is likely to break the balance between the empire's navy and army, causing some dissatisfaction from the Ministry of War.However, when he thought about his military career and the huge benefits that would be brought to him after the victory of this layout, General Benzhuang Fan had already faintly made a decision.

After calmly shifting his gaze to Chief of Staff Koiso Kunizaki again, he asked, "Chief of Staff, what do you think...>

At this moment, Chief of Staff Koiso Kuniaki no longer felt dissatisfied with Neiji Okamura at the beginning.Instead, holding the same idea as Benzhuang, he was thinking about how to get the most benefit for himself through this upcoming victory.

Facing Benzhuang Fan's gaze, he replied without thinking, "Commander-in-Chief, I think we can give it a try...>

"Yoxi...>

Then, facing the subordinates in front of him, he ordered with a majestic expression: "Now I order: Major General Gangcun, immediately assist the chief of staff to draft the entire combat plan. I will give you an hour. After an hour, I will To see a complete battle plan."

"Chief of staff, you still have another task, which is to contact Lieutenant General Otani of the escort fleet, inform Lieutenant General Otani of our thoughts, and see Lieutenant General Otani's reaction. After all, the key to this battle is whether the naval escort fleet can cooperate Us. Also, after getting a call back from Lieutenant General Otani, you must report to me immediately..."

"Ha Yi..." All the subordinates replied in unison, and quickly left the war room with expectations for the future. (To be continued. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
