From to 1935 2020

"Master Xiyuan Temple!"

Upon meeting, Toshishiro Obata first bowed respectfully to the Meiji veteran.

Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple was also not polite, and asked arrogantly: "Mr. Xiaohata, why are you here late at night?"

Obata Toshishiro replied honestly: "The war in China is critical, and I am very worried. I came here to see my old friend..."

Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple sneered and said: "The war has just begun, and the two armies have not yet engaged in a real battle. How can there be such a crisis?"

Toshishiro Obata bit the bullet and said: "Li Runshi has already seen through our army's strategy and set up a net at the Bailing Temple. The Sixth Division's battle will be very dangerous."

Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple said again: "How can there be more bad luck than good luck? Doihara Kenji swore in front of His Majesty that there were only more than [-] people in Lin Hu's three divisions in Baotou. The communist army far away will not be able to get reinforcements from Hebei and Shanxi in the short term!"

Toshishiro Obata raised his head and glanced at Mr. Xiyuan Temple, but he knew in his heart that this Meiji veteran asked knowingly: "The way to help Baotou is not only the railway, but also the Yellow River waterway. Bayannaoer in the west and Ordos in the south can all go directly to Baotou. What's more ..."

Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple sneered and interrupted: "Your words, as early as a few months ago, when the war game calculations were made in the base camp, someone said it, do you know what happened later..."

Toshishiro Obata shook his head. At that time, he had already been driven out of the core of the Japanese military headquarters and was serving in the reserve service. How could he know such secrets.

"Why don't you guess..."

Toshishiro Obata thought for a while, and replied, "Could it be that the bandit from Ishihara said that the communist army can't see through it?"

Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple laughed.

"In the Emperor's Dao School, it is extremely rare for me to meet someone with a brain."

Obata Toshishiro shook his body, and bowed deeply to Komochi Nishiharaji,

"Mr. Nishiharaji, you are the only one in Japan who can save the Sixth Division. Please!"

Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple was stunned for a moment, and said with a cold smile: "I can save the Sixth Division, but who will come to save me? That night, I really thank you for not killing me!"

What Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple said was naturally the night of the [-] Mutiny.Afterwards, the people from the special high-tech department tracked down all the "country thieves list" that the middle and lower middle and middle members of the Imperial Dao faction planned to kill. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, the "rotten conservative", is also well-known.The reason why he is fine is purely because his qualifications are too old, and the buffs of the Meiji veterans are too strong, and no one in the specific implementation team is willing to do this. , It is estimated that the old man's body has been cold for a long time.

When Xiyuanji Gongwang said this, Kita Ikki, who was kneeling opposite him, sighed softly, and then he read in front of Toshiro Obata:

"Red deer can't do big things, but they can be bad things! What's more, the water is so powerful that the general trend has become, it can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it! If there are too many red deer, it can force the army! In the past, indulgence, now it has become a disaster." , There are many troubles, and it is a big mistake! It is not me, you, the emperor, or even the military that can stop it!"

Toshishiro Obata shook his body.

"Right in Chichibu Palace? That Huang Ke said?"

Then he immediately remembered the next sentence, and couldn't help but chant: If you stand in front of the surging trend, if you want to stop its madness, you will also be turned into powder.

On the eve of the February [-]th Mutiny, Huang Ke and Komochi Saizono's "Chichibu Palace Confrontation" was later transcribed at the request of Komochi Saizono, and circulated around the military headquarters. Of course, Toshishiro Obata also read it.

Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple smiled bitterly and said: "The Communist spy Huang Ke Huang Yuanxing said this to Kenji Doihara. I thought he was only saying this to me at the time. But now I understand that he is right. All of us said it."

Then he said: "As a traitor of Ishihara, you really don't know that this battle is very gambling and the risks are huge? You don't know, it's just like Ando Teruzo, who was pushed forward by the general trend!"

Toshishiro Obata sighed: "The one who decides the national policy of the empire is not the one who is smart and rational, but the one with the largest number, the stupidest, and the craziest! Let him be right again."

Mr. Nishiharaji showed an admiring expression to Toshishiro Obata.

"You have read that passage in the palace, how did you feel at that time?"

Obata Toshishiro replied honestly: "I am disheartened!"

"Oh?"

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang's eyes lit up, but there was an expression of surprise.

"Why are you disheartened?"

"Because what is said in it is the truth!"

Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple looked up to the sky and laughed again.

"You are such a brainy person, you shouldn't continue to idle..."

To be praised so much by Xiyuanji Gongwang, Toshishiro Obata would have been overjoyed in the past, but at this time he was not happy at all, and instead said anxiously.

"Master Xiyuan Temple, the Sixth Division is now..."

"Minister Xiaohata, it's extremely rare for you to understand that what Huang Yuanxing said is the truth. It's a pity that you care about it, but you don't know that if you and I save the Sixth Division, the empire will really be destroyed."

Toshishiro Obata was taken aback for a moment, and then, as if realizing something, he said bitterly: "That Ishihara Waner is really a national traitor! You should be punished, you should be punished!"

Toshishiro Obata has not only read "Chichio's Palace", but also read the two versions of "Dark Fate" that Huang Ke sent to Japan.In that book, Huang Ke maliciously blamed the Japanese army's "walking alone" behavior on Ishihara Waner, a "predecessor" with a bad head.

As one of the Baden-Baden Sanbaden, Toshishiro Obata is not as famous as Tetsuzo Nagata and Ningji Okamura, but judging from his "choice" during the Anti-Japanese War and the Pacific War, this person's strategic vision is actually no better than the other two. People are bad, and some places are even better.

(Note: After 226, this person was transferred to the reserve service and idled. During the Anti-Japanese War, he became the commander of the 14th Division left behind. He was included in the reserve service due to health problems. Okamura once invited him out of the mountain, but he refused. When Japan surrendered in 1945 , Chief of Staff Umezu Yoshijiro did not want to attend the surrender ceremony, he cursed, losing so far, what face does the Army have, if Chief of Staff Umezu is unwilling to go, I can go as a representative of the Army. As a result, Umezu Yoshijiro was forced to attend the surrender ceremony After World War II, he served as Minister of State in the Higashikuni Toshihiko Cabinet.

In fact, he had a chance to make a comeback, but what this person did later was obviously to see through the situation in Japan at that time. He was very smart and stayed outside the core. Got promoted later. )

"Mr. Xiyuan Temple, do you want to exchange the defeat of the Sixth Division in exchange for the awakening of the entire Imperial Army?"

Toshishiro Obata shook his head, the problem of the Japanese military is not so easy to solve.

"The water is powerful, and the general trend has been formed. It can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it! If there are too many red deer, it can overwhelm the army! In the past, we have indulged, but now we have raised tigers and become troubles. It is a big mistake!"

He put the words in his mouth and said it again.

Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple sneered and said, "Most of the people selected by the military department for this battle are red deer!"

Toshishiro Obata was shocked, and instantly understood the meaning behind this.

After dozens of seconds, he just remembered it, and lowered his head: "Then after the spring of next year..."

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang sighed and said:

"How can a carload of fire be poured out with a dipper of water? Since the money of the four countries and nine states has been gathered to make such a big mistake, how can it be corrected in a day?"

Then he pointed to a paper bag on the table, and said to Toshishiro Obata: "The contents of this bag are the life information of Li Runshi, the leader of the Chinese Communist Army. After March this year, I ordered Doihara to collect the life story of this person again carefully." , I brought it here today to send it to Bei Yihui to read and taste carefully, since you have come here, you might as well light up the lamp and read with me tonight, and you can see me at home tomorrow afternoon."

After Xiyuanji Gongwang finished speaking, he stood up, and his son Gongyi hurriedly helped him up, and Toshishiro Obata wanted to help, but Xiyuanji Wang hummed "Don't move", and then went away on his own.

On the way, Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple asked his son again:

"Gong Yi, what do you think of these two people? Don't pretend to be stupid to deceive me again!"

"Bei Yihui? Ambitious, but lacking in ability. Thirty years of searching, thirty years of digging, but still nothing. In the end, he had to be the wrath of despair..."

Gong Wang of Xiyuan Temple squinted his eyes, looked at his son, and said with a smile, "What a sentence about the wrath of despair! It's so apt! What about Toshiro Obata?"

Xiyuan Temple thought for a while before answering: "A person with brains and rationality."

"Don't just say half of what you say!"

As soon as Xiyuan Temple showed his bitter melon face, he thought about it again, and said: "It is the one who knows the importance of state affairs, not the blind one, and may be able to take on the big responsibility."

"What about Ishihara Waner?"

"Smart and stupid people, national thieves, should be punished!"

-----------

That night, Toshishiro Obata and Kita Ikki shared the same cell.

During this time, Toshishiro Obata asked Kita Ikkidao Xiyuan Temple Gongwang to see him late at night, what was the matter.

Bei Yihui replied: "At first, I came here for Huang Ke and Huang Yuanxing."

Toshishiro Obata asked carefully and found out that after the February [-]th Incident, Bei Yihui was arrested. Later, people from the Special High-Tech Co., Ltd. asked him many times what he talked about in the meeting with Huang Ke.Bei Yihui didn't hide anything, he confessed everything.After reading the case file, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang came over today and asked Bei Yihui face to face again if there were any other "omissions".

Bei Yihui said: "Master Nishihara, you are not optimistic about the war between the empire and China."

Toshishiro Obata bowed his head, and after thinking for a long time, Fang said: "If there is no sudden emergence of Li Runshi's Red Army and encroaching on China, we will surely succeed!"

"The country of China, the central land, has so many outstanding people!"

Bei Yihui sighed and shook his head, picked up an item in the information bag in front of him, which was obtained from China by Doihara's agents, it was a collection of Li Runshi's previous writings, and then read it carefully.

Toshishiro Obata saw that he was not in the mood to chat, but he stopped talking, took out other manuscripts from the capital bag, and continued reading.

When the sky was about to dawn, both of them read a bag of documents. They faced each other silently, and just now they sighed together:

"A real hero..."

Bei Yihui reminded Toshishiro Obata: "Then Huang Ke and Huang Yuanxing are serving this person!"

Toshishiro Obata was taken aback for a moment. He was expelled from the military headquarters and sent to the reserve force, but he received much less information than before.

"Is this really true? If so, isn't Chang Kai Shenkai......"

Bei Yihui said with a smirk: "Li Runshi is the monkey who pulls the thread! Sun Wen is exaggerating, but his disciples and grandchildren are not as good as the next generation. They are all pigs and dogs!"

Bei Yihui has a deep relationship with the Tongmenghui, the predecessor of the Kuomintang, but he only has a deep relationship with the Tongmenghui.What he really catches the eye is Song Jiaoren, the head of the Tongmenghui, and the two are close friends.On the contrary, he had a normal relationship with Sun Wen, and even fell out with Song Jiaoren shortly after he was assassinated.

Toshishiro Obata nodded, and agreed: "It is true that pigs and dogs are not as good as dogs! Wakachina is full of such people..."

Speaking of this, Toshishiro Obata shook his head again, pressed the file bag on the table and regretted: "It's a pity, it's a pity..."

At this time, he hated Chang Kaishen for being stupid and incompetent. Last year, he could not annihilate these great enemies in Songpan Mountain for the imperial army. China's greatest disaster.

Bei Yihui asked him: "I met with Huang Yuanxing to discuss the Sino-Japanese affairs. Have you seen the file?"

Toshishiro Obata shook his head, so Kita Kazuki repeated the conversation between the two at that time.

"The land of China seems to be vast in land and rich in resources, but in fact it is narrow and densely populated. In the late Qing Dynasty, the dynasty changed, and there were not many deaths! Within 50 years, the population will exceed one billion! Then Li Runshi's generation of outstanding people will try their best to regain the Northeast... "

Bei Yihui sighed. He originally advocated that Japan should invade China first, and that China and Japan should be one family, and that China and Japan should be friendly. However, after being imprisoned for more than half a year, during reflection and introspection, he has realized that all this is a fool's dream. .

After dawn, Toshishiro Obata bid farewell and left, but he didn't go to Gongwang's mansion of Xiyuan Temple immediately, but returned home to rest until near noon, had lunch, took a bath and changed clothes before going to the door.

When he met Xiyuan Temple Gongwang again, on the Bailing Temple side, the most powerful Red Army of the "Eighteenth Army" of the Red Army collided with the elite brigade of Gu Hisao's Sixth Division and was already in Bailing Temple. Start near the airport.

After the Battle of Henan, with the rapid expansion of the Red Army during the war and the subsequent expansion of the Red Army, in order to adapt to the new situation, after the Seventh National Congress, the Red Army carried out another reorganization of the military system.

After recruiting a large number of recruits, some independent divisions were directly upgraded to the formation of the army.Some armies that had expanded too aggressively were dismantled and reorganized into new armies.

The deep meaning of this is not only a military need, but also a political need.

Before the Battle of Shanxi, even if the Red Second Front Army joined, the main force of the Red Army, in terms of numbers, more than half were from the Red Fourth Front Army.In the Shanxi campaign, the most critical battle to annihilate the [-]th Army was commanded by Xu Shuai, who was from the Red Fourth Army. Yu Tianyun, who was from the Fourth Army, also made great contributions in capturing Gong County, a strategic location.

Whether it is for "cutting down the mountain" or for "removing the warlords", the proper balance must be re-established.

If you want to talk about the difference between the Red Front Army and the Red Fourth Front Army at its peak, the answer is that the Red Front Army is now very close to a perfect revolutionary army, with high discipline, organization and culture.One of the chairman's famous sayings is that "an army without culture is a stupid army, and a stupid army cannot win battles."

On the contrary, the Red Fourth Front Army under the control of Zhang Guotao maliciously wanted to turn the army into his own private property out of his personal selfishness, trying to make the army "brainless" by changing methods, and the military discipline was average.What's even more disgusting is that Zhang Guotao deliberately eliminated a large number of highly educated intellectuals in the army in the name of eliminating counter-revolutionaries.

Not to mention other places, but the difference in the views on soldier culture clearly reflects the difference in the structure of the two sides.

After re-dividing the expanded Red Army into 34 armies, the Red Quartet Army received six formations, the Red First and Sixth Armies, the Red Second Two Armies, and the remaining one was given to Liu Zhidan and Xiang Ying's Red Army. One army, the last two, one for the Suyu Department in southwest Zhejiang, and one for the reconstruction of the Red Fifth Front Army. Based on the rebuilt Red [-]th Division, all officers from the Red Fifth Front Army were drawn out to form a separate army. (Note, cavalry divisions and independent divisions are counted separately.) ----
