Chapter 79: Arrogant Yamada (new book, please watch)
Temporary meeting room!
A large number of senior Japanese generals, including King Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace, gathered together. The small conference room was full of generals. If Li Guoyao knew that Dog Ri would come here today, he would definitely do something here. It's a time bomb. Once it explodes at this time, the effect will definitely be overwhelming.
But this is just a little obscenity. In fact, before every meeting, the guards of the Little Devil will check the conference room to avoid any omissions. Even if there is a bomb, it will be discovered immediately.
As soon as the meeting started, King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace said to Captain Yamada who was attending the meeting: "Yamada, tell everyone here the results of your investigation!"
"Hai!"
Even facing a group of junior officers and generals with much higher military ranks than him, Captain Yamada was still not timid. He immediately stood up and said: "Sirs, according to the results of our investigation just now, Chief of Staff Akira Muto was indeed assassinated by a Chinese spy. This is true. There is no doubt about it. In addition, we also asked the guards on duty last night, and according to their confession, a suspicious second lieutenant officer did come last night and entered the headquarters!"
"Nani? Since he is a suspicious person, why didn't the guards interrogate him?" Tsukada asked in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency, according to the guard on duty at the door, this second lieutenant officer is very young. Not only does he drive a car, but he also has a new password. They were slapped by the other party just for asking them a routine question. Obviously, the other party is not familiar with the rules of our imperial army. They also know each other very well, and the experience of ordinary guards is not enough to distinguish the authenticity of the other party¡¯s identity!¡±
"Baga, you are a loser, you are all a loser!" Tsukada shouted angrily.
"Tsukada-kun, please be patient. The matter has come to this, and it is useless to talk more. Let's think about remedial measures!" King Asaka Palace Hatohiko stopped Tsukada's attack, which was about to go crazy.
"Hai! Your Excellency, the Commander, is right. Now the Shanghai Expeditionary Force can be said to be leaderless. Mr. Matsui has relapsed and is unable to handle official duties for the time being. The chief and deputy chief of staff, Yu Sui, has directly paralyzed the command center, which has seriously affected the war on the front line. Therefore, we A new chief of staff must be appointed as soon as possible to support the Shanghai Expedition Army Headquarters!" Tsukada attacked.
"Youxi, I wonder if Tsukada-kun has a candidate?"
"Sorry, now almost all the main divisions of the front army are attacking Nanjing westward. The main staff of the Shanghai Expedition Army Headquarters have also been transferred to the Central China Front Army Headquarters. This place is actually an empty shelf. It has always been controlled by Mr. Muto himself. Take responsibility, there is no replacement candidate available at the moment!" Tsukada said in a deep voice.
"Since it is an empty shelf, there is not much difference between having it and not having it. Now, in the name of the commander of the dispatched army, I order that the staff of the dispatched army will be temporarily managed by the front army, and the chief of staff will be concurrently served by Mr. Tsukada. As long as it does not affect the front As for the war, everything else is easy to talk about!" King Jiuyan of Asaka Palace said.
"That's okay, but what should be done after Mr. Muto and Mr. Okamoto are killed in battle? After all, the chief and deputy chiefs of staff were killed at the same time, so I can't guarantee that they will make a fuss about it!" Tsukada said worriedly.
"No need to worry, a report was issued immediately. An accident occurred in the ammunition depot of the Dispatch Force Headquarters last night. A small amount of ammunition exploded. Chief of Staff Colonel Muto and Deputy Chief of Staff Colonel Okamoto who were handling the situation at the scene were shattered at the same time!" Asaka Miya Hatohiko Wang Yicheng said decisively.
Hearing this, Tsukada Gong¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up, he nodded hurriedly and said: "Your Excellency is wise!"
When he said this, Tsukada did not compliment King Asaka Palace Hatohiko, but sincerely. King Asaka Palace Hatohiko's handling method seemed simple and crude, but it was very appropriate, cutting through the mess with a quick knife and striking preemptively.
¡° If the news of the death of Muto Akira and others is exposed before China issues a communiqu¨¦, China can refuse to acknowledge it no matter what it says. Anyway, there is nothing to say about such an ambiguous matter. At worst, the two sides will just argue.
At this time, Tsukada suddenly thought of something, and then said: "Your Excellency, Commander, Mr. Muto was assassinated in his office. I feel that your plan to go to Nanjing may have been exposed. For your safety, I suggest you Cancel the plan to rush to Nanjing on the 2nd!"
King Asaka Palace Hatohiko pondered for a while and said: "Tsukada-kun is overthinking. Although the plan may indeed be leaked, the other party is just a spy. Even if the news is passed back, what can the government do? You must know that Shanghai is now in our hands, and all the Chinese troops along the line have withdrawn, and there has even been a great rout. They have too much time to take care of themselves.?So do you still have the energy to target me? "
"Your Excellency, your safety is more important than Mount Tai. Once your life safety is threatened, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"I understand what you mean, but don't take it too seriously. Putting aside everything else, you should know that I am always protected by a reinforced squadron of troops. How many troops do you think are needed to support the combat effectiveness of that army? Is it harming me to defeat my guards?"
Tsukada frowned and said: "If it is a government army, it will need at least two reinforced battalions with more than a thousand people!"
King Asaka Palace Kohihiko turned to Captain Yamada and said: "Yamada, Tsukada-kun said that he only needs two battalions of troops to destroy your squadron. What do you say?"
Captain Yamada stood up directly and said: "I don't agree with Tsukada-kun's words. Our squadron has three combat teams and an artillery team, with a total strength of 274 people. They are all selected from the best soldiers in the Imperial Army of Japan. The combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of His Majesty the Emperor's Guards. With the combat effectiveness of our squadron, we can defeat even a reinforced regiment!"
Captain Yamada¡¯s arrogant performance made King Asaka Palace Hatohiko very satisfied. He liked Yamada¡¯s arrogant and domineering character. He was like him!
It¡¯s just that neither Captain Yamada nor King Asaka Palace Hatohiko thought that they would pay the price in blood for their arrogance just two days later!
Of course, it was impossible for them to know this. King Asaka Palace Kohihiko nodded, and then said: "Tsukada-kun, do you think that under the current circumstances, it is still possible to support a group?" Can the troops pass through our frontline defense line and be transported to the rear to intercept my convoy? What's more, my first stop is not Nanjing, but Wuxi, which should be regarded as our security area!"
Tsukada attacked immediately and said: "It is indeed impossible for a regiment-level combat unit to appear near Shanghai, but we have to be careful of the Air Force. To be honest, the performance of the Air Force is really amazing. What we expected!¡±
"Support/that air force?" King Asaka Palace Hatohiko expressed surprise that Tsukada commented so much on the Chinese Air Force.
Tsukada Gong nodded and said: "Your Excellency, the army's performance in the Shanghai offensive was only acceptable, but their air force showed amazing combat effectiveness, which shocked the imperial army, navy and air force. .¡±
"Oh, doesn't it mean that the air force is just an empty frame, and the total number of fighter planes is less than 300? Is the intelligence collected before the war wrong?"
"The information is correct. The total number of combat aircraft in the country's air force is indeed only more than 300, which is less than one-seventh of our Empire of Japan. However, there is no direct relationship between combat effectiveness and the number of fighter aircraft."
Then Tsukada continued: "At the beginning of the war, we all thought that the Chinese Air Force would have little combat effectiveness, because their air force development was too lagging behind. A few years ago, the Chinese government began to formulate plans to develop the air force. It only took three or four years from establishing an aviation school, hiring consultants, purchasing fighters, and putting them into actual combat. Before the full-scale war between Japan and China broke out, the total establishment of the Air Force only had 9 brigades, including 3 bombing brigades and 3 deportation brigades. "
"At the same time, the Imperial Japanese Army had about 2,300 aircraft that could be used for combat, seven times as many as China. And the number of aircraft used on the Chinese battlefield was 443, with a maximum of more than 800. Its strength was far superior to that of China. Above the Air Force.¡±
"More importantly, the Empire of Japan has the industrial strength to manufacture its own aircraft, producing 60 aircraft per month, and can continuously update related technologies. However, China's industry is backward, and all aircraft used by the Air Force come from the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy Other countries, on the one hand, many aircraft models are already obsolete, and on the other hand, parts supply is difficult, which seriously limits the capabilities of the China Air Force."
At this point, Tsukada's tone changed and he said in a deep voice: "But even so, the Air Force withstood the joint stranglehold of the Imperial Japanese Army's navy, land and aviation with inferior fighter planes and scarce numbers. From the beginning of August, So far, we have had hundreds of fighter planes shot down, and the China Air Force has won our recognition with its actual record. If they knew that the Commander was going to the Nanjing front line by train, they would definitely send planes to bomb your convoy!"
King Asaka Palace Jiuhiko immediately said: "There is no need to worry about this. Although the air force is not easy to defend, the air force has its natural limitations. At least the combat effectiveness of the aircraft at night is almost zero, especially for moving targets. We It¡¯s completely possible to move at night!¡±
Tsukada Gong also wanted to persuade King Asaka Palace Hatohiko, but seeing the impatient look on the face of His Highness the Prince, he finally held back.
He has also heard about the deeds of this prince lieutenant general. He has a violent temper and cannot listen to different opinions. Anyway, he has fulfilled his duty as chief of staff. As for whether the other party listens or not, that is not his concern.
