The national army is busy selecting talents and reforming its organization, and the Japanese army is not idle either.
However, the Japanese army paid more attention to the summary. This defeat gave the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Chinese Condemnation Force Nishio Hisao a blow, which made him very embarrassed.
If we follow standard operating procedures, after the battle is over, the first step is accountability.
Rumors also spread from the Japanese base camp that the chief of staff of the Thirteenth Army, Usami Taka, who was actually responsible for the battle command, was primarily responsible for the failure of the Zhejiang-Fujian Campaign.
Hisao Nishio, who concurrently serves as the commander of the Thirteenth Army, also has leadership responsibilities.
Therefore, there is a saying in the Japanese base camp that Usami Taka should commit suicide by seppuku and Nishio Juzo should be dismissed from his post, transferred back to the country and transferred to the reserve service.
However, this motion was not passed in the end.
Japanese Army Chief of Staff Kanin Miyazaihito withstood the pressure and supported Nishio Hiszo.
At this moment, Kanin Gong Zaijin was meeting with Nishio Hiszo in the office of the Army Headquarters.
Nishio Juzo just returned to Tokyo last night. It was already early in the morning when he got off the ship. He only slept for less than four hours before he hurried over to meet Kanin Gong Zaijin. He looked exhausted.
Xianyuan Gong Zairen said: "Nishio-kun, thank you for your hard work."
"Hai." Nishio Shouzou said after a pause, "It's an honor for me to fight for the empire, but"
"Don't worry about those rumors." Xianyuan Gong Zairen waved his hand and said calmly, "If you don't attract people's jealousy, you are mediocre. Nishio-kun, if you are criticized by others, at least it shows that you are capable."
Nishio Hisao didn't know how to answer the question.
Xianyuan Gong Zairen continued: "What's more, I also know that you did not command the Zhejiang-Fujian battle. This failure has nothing to do with you."
"Your Highness, this is not correct." Nishio Hisao said, "I am also responsible for the defeat of the Zhejiang-Fujian Campaign. At least I gave Usami Taka the greatest command authority, so an unknown person cannot escape."
"This is the main purpose of my conversation with you today." Xianyuan Gong Zairen waved his hand and continued, "Please tell me the whole process of the Zhejiang-Fujian Campaign. Although there are also battle reports, I always feel that there is something It cannot be reflected in the battle, so I would like to hear your introduction and evaluation of this battle with my own ears."
"Hai." Nishio Shouzao paused slightly, and then recounted the entire process of the Zhejiang-Fujian battle.
After listening to Nishio Juzo¡¯s introduction, Kanin Gong Zaijin fell into a long silence. It was not until a long time later that he picked up the tea cup on the coffee table and said, "Here, drink tea."
"Thank you." Nishio Hisao took the tea cup and took a sip.
Kanin Gong Zaijin said: "Nishio-kun, what do you think of Usami-kun's performance?"
"Usami-kun is very capable." Nishio Hisao said carefully, "but he lacks experience, especially when facing an experienced opponent like Zhong Yi, this will be infinitely magnified."
Xianyuan Gong Zairen said: "Is it really just a lack of experience, rather than a lack of ability?"
"Yes." Nishio Hisotou paused and said, "There is absolutely no problem with Usami-kun's ability."
"Yo Xi." Xianyuan Gong Zairen nodded happily and added, "If it's just a lack of experience, this is easy to handle. Just transfer an experienced commander to the Thirteenth Army. What do you think, Nishio-kun?"
What Kanin Gong Zaijin meant was that Nishio Hisao no longer concurrently served as the commander of the Thirteenth Army, but instead specially selected an experienced general to serve as the commander.
??????????Nishio Juzo has no dissatisfaction at all.
"I completely agree with His Highness's opinion." Nishio Hisao nodded happily, "The question is, who will be transferred?"
Xianyuan Gong Zairen did not express his position immediately, but asked Nishio Shozo: "Nishio-kun, you are the commander-in-chief of the China Condemnation Army. Who do you think is the most suitable person to transfer to the Thirteenth Army?"
Nishio Hisao asked tentatively: "Yamada-kun?"
"That's inappropriate." Kanin Gong Zaijin shook his head categorically and said, "This person is Tojo Hideki's dog. He has no independent opinions and no ability. I'm afraid he can't shoulder this important task."
Nishio Shouzou pondered for a moment and then asked tentatively: "So, Anan-kun?"
"How old is Anan?" Xianyuan Gong Zairen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid his qualifications are a little low."
The phenomenon of seniority in the Japanese military is actually much more serious than that in the Chinese military. If you don¡¯t believe it, you can see it just by looking at the age structure of senior generals in the Chinese and Japanese armies.
There are a lot of division commanders and army commanders in the national army who are in their thirties.
For example, Yu Liangzhen, less thanHe already served as commander-in-chief at the age of ten.
Looking back at the Japanese army, there are almost no senior officers under the age of fifty.
Seeing that Kanin Gong Zairen denied this and that, Nishio Shouzou felt confident.
At that moment, Nishio Juzo whispered: "In this case, I'm afraid there is only one person who is suitable."
"Oh, really?" Hanyuan Gong Zairen asked happily, "Which person do Nishio-kun think is suitable?"
Nishio Shouzo said: "Okamura-kun."
"Okamura Neji?" Kanin Gong Zaijin nodded lightly, and then said, "Okamura-kun is very capable. Among the senior generals in the empire who have been through the empire several times, they really can't find anyone more outstanding than him. The problem is, The Eleventh Army is guarding Wuhan and faces considerable pressure. If Neji Okamura is transferred, who will replace him?"
"How about Itagaki-kun concurrently serving as the commander of the Eleventh Army?" Nishio Hiszo said.
Itagaki Seishiro became famous because he defeated more than 30 national troops with half a division in the Battle of Xinkou, and was quickly transferred back to China to serve as Minister of War.
¡°However, because of his poor performance in the Zhang Gufeng incident, he was despised by the top brass of the Japanese army, especially Hirohito, who was very dissatisfied with him, so he was kicked to China as the chief of staff of the Chinese Condemnation Force.
Itagaki Seishiro cannot be an official, but his ability to lead troops in war is still acceptable.
The candidates for the commanders of the Thirteenth Army and the Eleventh Army were roughly determined in this way.
Xianyuan Gong Zairen immediately added: "But for the Japanese Empire, the most powerful enemy is Zhong Yi of Yinjiang. Therefore, in the second battle of Yinjiang, the imperial army can only win but not lose."
"Hai." Nishio Shouzou suddenly paused and said, "I completely agree with this point."
Xianyuan Gong Zairen said: "So, in addition to an excellent commander, we must also have an elite force that is brave and good at fighting."
"An elite force that is brave and good at fighting?" Nishio Shouzou's mind moved. Among the Japanese invaders, the only division that could be called heroic and good at fighting was the Sixth Division, except for the Fifth Division.
Is it possible that the base camp should also assign the Sixth Division to the Thirteenth Army?
However, Nishio Juzo still underestimated Kanin Gong Zaijin¡¯s determination. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
