Regarding Shigeru Sawada's evaluation of Kenji Doihara's tactical vision, Major General Kobayashi Asazaburo smiled and did not comment. △:△△Sui△Sui△Shuoku.com △Since Lieutenant General Doihara was promoted to commander of the lieutenant general, it has been no longer a day or two for Lieutenant General Sawada. The two have begun to fight each other since Lieutenant General Doihara was transferred to commander of the Fifth Army of the Kanto Army.

In fact, Shigeru Sawada was disliked by Lieutenant General Dohihara. The cause of the incident was Lieutenant General Dohihara. As soon as this guy took office, he asked the Kwantung Army headquarters to transfer his 4th Division and replace it with other troops. He also threatened: "The troops that the Kwantung Army is loyal to the Emperor are troops that devote themselves to the Emperor's territory and make contributions, and are not to make a fortune. The Kwantung Army does not need a group of vendors."

It was this sentence that made the two of them formally form a bond. Although Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru was not satisfied with Lieutenant General Dohihara's words, he had to admit in private that what he said was not wrong. It would be fine if he just said these words in private, but Lieutenant General Dohihara publicly made it publicly. Isn't this slap Shigeru Sawada in the face?

If Shigeru Sawada had already left office, he would naturally not care. Since its establishment, there have been many division commanders. If all the outgoing division commanders are angry because of outsiders' evaluation of the Fourth Division, at least half of the previous division commanders of the Fourth Division will be angry to death.

But when Lieutenant General Doihira said these words, he was in office, and he could accept these remarks. So the two of them formally formed a gang and ridiculed each other every now and then. However, due to the face of the Great Japanese Imperial Army, most of them were in front of their hearts and no longer caused a storm in the city.

With this Liangzi, Shigeru Sawada had a rare opportunity to get this opportunity and naturally had to ridicule the general situation. However, this matter involved a lieutenant general commander and a lieutenant general division commander, and Major General Asazaburo Kobayashi did not want to participate in it, so as not to be affected by the disaster.

Although Shigeru Sawada was not concerned about Kobayashi Asazaburo's silence, Shigeru Sawada, who was also a peasant family, knew that in the army where nepotism was prevalent, it was difficult for the peasant family children without background to stand out. He was just a division commander and had no prominent background. The backstage in the army was incomparable to Kenji Doihara, who came from a military family. It was already good that Major General Kobayashi did not help Lieutenant General Doihara refute him.

However, although Shigeru Sawada didn't care about the performance of Asazaburo Kobayashi, what should be solved still needs to be solved. Although Shigeru Sawada was very dissatisfied with Kenji Doihara, what should be executed still needs to be executed. It is okay to defeat the upper and lower levels. However, for officers at the first level of the division, it would be a fatal mistake. What's more, he was the commander-in-chief this time, and if something happened, the board would still be hit on him.

Looking at the map, Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada said to Major General Kobayashi Asazaburo: "Order the sixty-first team to draw an infantry brigade, the 37th Regiment to draw two infantry squadrons, and the two Yama Artillery squadrons form a detachment and hand it over to Major General Kuroi Iwa Yoshikazu."

"Order the Third Cavalry Brigade to strengthen the two cavalry squadrons of the Fourth Cavalry Regiment, and be assigned to a cavalry regiment of Manchuria. From the current defense site, it will immediately spread along the line from Miaoling Mountain to Yuanbao Mountain to the northwest. You tell Heiyan Yoshikazu to let him protect his flanks, especially the southern line, and you must take precautions."

Speaking of this, Shigeru Sawada pondered for a moment and then said, "I won't say these words directly. Just explain them to Kuroshiro when the handover is over. Tell him to let him pay attention to shrinking his front and strengthening the forces on the flanks. Don't invest too much in the offensive force. Once you find that things cannot be violated, withdraw immediately and don't show off."

"I have tried my best to get the troops of a detachment in violation of the commander's order. The rest can only depend on him. What kind of virtue is the Fourth Division? Heiyanjun should know that the defense on the southern line has made him more effort. But I can only do so much, let him ask for more blessings for the rest."

After hearing Shigeru Sawada's words, Major General Asazaburo Kobayashi was slightly stunned. The Imperial Army has always advocated attack. Not to mention these mobs, even the Chinese government forces have never retreated. What is the matter with Lieutenant General? He is just a group of bandit armed forces, and he is so pessimistic? He even dares to reveal the 4th Division's legacy in front of the outsider Yoshikazu Kiyawa?

Regarding Kobayashi Asazaburo's doubts, Shiro Sawada, who knew that he had committed the problem of despising Chinese people by the Japanese army, shook his head and said, "Kobayashi, do you really think our opponent is a mob? Do you really think that their troops attacking Jiamusi will stay where they are waiting for us to encircle?"

"We have strengthened a united regular division of the Imperial Army. With the cooperation of a large number of Manchurians, with air troops on top and heavy artillery under the cover of heavy artillery, we have not yet destroyed the armed forces of their resistance and let them give up the battle. Can you think these people are mobs? You should see the so-called breakthroughs made these days. Rather than saying that our attack is successful, it is better to say that the opponent's conscious abandonment."

"The rhythm of the entire battlefield is always in their hands. The price we have paid for these days is quite high, but we have never disrupted our opponent's pace. Although we have reached its core fortifications, we have never let our opponents give up resistance. We have also let our roundabout troops take our base."

"Although this army is still very immature on the battlefield, the military qualities shown by its soldiers are not very high. However, its tactical use is extremely clever. The defects in the quality of soldiers have been greatly compensated by the reasonable and effective tactics it uses."

"It adopts multiple levels, staging configurations, and although it is not large in number, it masters the extremely high temperature and extremely sharp counterattacks. All of them show that this army has extremely high tactical qualities compared with other anti-Manchu armed forces. Its commander's ability to grasp the battlefield is also above the first-class."

"To this extent, the clearance operation has actually failed. Whether it is Commander Kenyoshi Ueda or Kenji Doihara, he is just unwilling to admit the reality. I now feel that the armed forces attacking Kamusi have withdrawn and are hiding in an unknown corner and peeking at our every move."

"The reason why they haven't taken action yet is that they are still looking for our weaknesses. But more may be that they are waiting for us to retreat. No matter how good their appetite is, they have not swallowed up one of us and strengthened the division capabilities of a corps. They attacked Jiamusi in order to lead us to divide our troops and find favorable fighter jets for their next battle. I can say with certainty that once our Fourth Division retreats Jiamusi, it will be time for them to fight back on the whole line."

Regarding Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada's analysis, it seems very reasonable in the view of Major General Asazaburo Kobayashi, who has been the chief of staff for a long time in the 12th Army of the Japanese Army. He is not unaware of the problems. These days, the opponent has been fighting and retreating. Although he has given up his peripheral positions, the initiative in the battle has always been in his own hands.

Within a few days, the Fourth Division attacked countless times, with great casualties, but the results were not large. Now it seems that the opponent did not intend to fight against him at all, but instead used the solid fortifications on the front line of Qunce Mountain to delay the main force of the division. He divided his troops and adopted a large-scale roundabout tactic to attack Jiamusi in order to attract his division.

But since Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru had no result in his argument, he was just a small Major General Brigade Commander, how could he change the deployment of the army commander? At this time, Major General Kobayashi Asazaburo finally understood why Shigeruoshizawa would violate the order of Lieutenant General Dohihara and leave a detachment of troops for Major General Yoshikazu Kuroiya.

Although Shigeru Sawada was reluctant, under the urging of Lieutenant General Doihara Kenji, Major General Yoshikazuki, who had been handed over overnight, was almost half an hour after the handover of Major General Yoshikazuki, who was concentrated on the main force of the division to return to the aid as quickly as possible, and Jiamusi, who had actually been abandoned by Yang Zhen.

Unlike the previous delays and time to assault the Qunce Mountain line, which took a lot of time to assemble troops. This time, when I heard about the rescue of Jiamusi, the Fourth Division was like taking aphrodisiacs, and he was full of energy to gallop towards Jiamusi almost day and night. Even the division headquarters was reluctant to implement the orders for rest, but strongly demanded to continue rushing.

For the reasons why his subordinates who were as if they were fed with chicken blood had such huge changes, neither Shigeru Sawada nor Asazaburo Kobayashi could only shake his head and smile bitterly. In fact, Lieutenant General Shigeru himself knew that after learning that the anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese armed forces were attacking Kamusi in large numbers, if he did not obey Kenji Doihara, he would immediately return to the rescue. Not only did Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara refuse to agree, but even those subordinates who had almost all their wealth left in Kamusi since they stationed in Beiman City, they would not agree to him. This time they probably really felt the feeling of rescuing soldiers like putting out fires.

However, although he understood his subordinates' idea of ​​rushing back to rescue his property, he still remembered that the tragic scene of the 12th Division was in the suppression not long ago, Shigeru Sawada did not dare to be careless. After drawing up a part of the Eighth Regiment responsible for protecting the supply line, he took the lead with the cooperation of the main force of the Fourth Cavalry Regiment.

The reason why he chose the worst Eighth Regiment of the Fourth Division as the pioneer unit this time was because Shigeru Sawada knew that if he rescued another place, the corps would not only not work hard, but he would probably even do things that would not be saved when necessary. However, if rescued Jiamusi, as their base camp, this corps would definitely show abnormal combat effectiveness. Because almost all of their property was in Jiamusi. If Jiamusi was lost, these people would be defeated back to their original form.

He commanded the main force of the Fourth Division with great caution but slowly rushing. Although his prudence caused the marching speed to slow down. But Shigeru Sawada did not care. To be on the safe side, Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada even forced himself to suppress the extremely rare enthusiasm for fighting in the middle and lower-level officers of the Fourth Division.

As for Colonel Akini, the captain of the Eighth Regiment who led the leading troops to set off, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru also repeatedly explained: "Col. Colonel Akini, you must be steady when you take the pioneer troops to set off by car, and be careful not to be motivated by subordinates to do anything reckless. You know the situation of the Eighth Regiment better than me, so you must be steady."

Speaking of this, Lieutenant General Sawada looked at Colonel Akiko, and after a moment of silence, he said again: "Major General Kobayashi is a qualified staff officer, but is not suitable to serve as the chief officer of the army. It is only a transition to the Fourth Division, and he will be transferred back to the country after a while."

"I have recommended you to Tokyo Base Camp to be promoted to the rank of Major General, and the Tokyo Base Camp has been approved, just waiting for the Emperor to be cut off. At this critical moment, I hope you will never have anything to do. I can only say so much, but I think you should understand what I mean."

Shigeru Sawada's meaning is very clear. You, Akina Kenichi, will be promoted to major general soon and will soon take over as the commander of the 4th Brigade. If you are bluntly adversary and suffer significant losses to the army, whether the rank of major general and the position of brigade commander will be your turn.

However, Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada did not say it. The reason why Major General Kobayashi Asazaburo was temporarily transferred to the brigade commander of the Fourth Brigade on the way from the Chief of Staff of the 12th Army of the North China Front was temporarily transferred to the brigade commander of the Fourth Brigade on the way because no one was willing to accept this hot potato.

After the 70th Regiment, the 4th Division had the strongest combat power and the best obedience power, everyone understood what the remaining three regis were. Except for the 63rd Regiment, which barely had some fierce style, the other two regiments were simply rotten. Apart from the different ways to make money, these people would not think about anything.

Originally, this position was set as the only Colonel Xingxianyi who had not been pulled into the water among the three regiments. Although his Eighth Regiment was the worst among the entire Fourth Division's regiments, he still had his own abilities and was not pulled into the water by his subordinates. But this guy was really unlucky. It was a foregone conclusion, but because of his subordinates' poor performance in Dunhua.

When the military headquarters wanted to find another replacement to take over as the brigade commander of the reorganized Fourth Brigade, they found that no one was willing to come. Those who were scheduled to choose would rather go to China to be the brigade commander of an independent brigade, or even stay still, and no one was willing to come to this regular field division to serve as the brigade commander.

Just kidding, the Sino-Japanese War was in full swing at this time, and the Japanese army was constantly expanding its troops. For those who dreamed of becoming generals, the position of the Fourth Division was a firewood. Because no one could imagine that the division would be transferred to the front line to fight. And the victory of guerrillas all day long would not be able to establish merits.

Not to mention that although no one would think that the Fourth Division would be transferred to the battlefield, no one could guarantee that when the troops were short of troops, this formal and old A division would not be transferred to the battlefield. Based on these people's understanding of the Fourth Division, the current situation of the Fourth Division would implicate themselves in their unlucky situation. If the Fourth Division was really unfortunately transferred to the battlefield one day, when the situation was critical, these people would definitely abandon their commanders and escape by themselves.

So when the people who booked were unwilling to come, the military headquarters really looked down on him. And there was something wrong with the candidates within the Fourth Division. Major General Kobayashi Asazaburo, who had been in the staff for a long time and had excellent obedience, became a temporary replacement. And he, the brigade commander, was just a temporary candidate, and the position in the education director department was left for him.

Of course, Shigeru Sawada would never say these words in front of Colonel Ainkatsu. Shigeru Sawada still appreciates Ainkatsu's character and ability. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to recommend him to be promoted to the brigade commander among the four regiments. So he did not want him, the captain whom he admired most after taking office in the Fourth Division, to be at this critical moment, to have something happened.

It was obvious that Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada's meaning was understood by Colonel Kenichi. Although he took his Eighth Regiment and the Cavalry Regiment first, as the vanguard of the entire division, the marching speed was not fast. The distance between him and the main force of the division was never widened for fifteen kilometers. It was not until he left the mountainous area that he began to speed up the marching speed.

However, when he arrived, he had been blown up by the bridge piers and had almost no repaired Songhua River Bridge in a short time, Xingxianyi, who had breathed a sigh of relief, was stunned. The Songhua River Bridge, which communicated the straight line between Jiangbei and Jiamusi, was completely blown up, and even a ferry was not in the bare riverside. Only dozens of ferry wreckage were floating faintly in the middle of the river.

That is, Colonel Xingxianyi, who did not carry the boat bridge and had no tools to cross the river, had no choice but to stop. On the one hand, he waited for the arrival of the main force of the division, and on the other hand, he tried every means to collect tools that could cross the river. Just when Colonel Xingxianyi had just issued a rest order, accompanied by the sudden sound of dense cannons in the north, a dense shells hit the Eighth Regiment and the Fourth Cavalry Regiment gathered on the riverside.

Although the distance between the gun sound was not close, Colonel Akihiro could even clearly determine that these cannons that were firing at their own fire at the maximum range. However, the landing points of the shells hitting their heads were very accurate. It was obvious that the shooting area had been carefully measured and the landing points of the shells had been carefully measured.

Colonel Akina, who was not harassed all the way, was somewhat relaxed and never expected to be beaten at the door of his house. Colonel Akina, who was kicked off from the truck he was riding, saved his life, looked at the heavy casualties by the shrapnel flying everywhere, and almost bit his teeth.

When Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada led the main force of the division to the Songhua River, he looked at the Eighth Regiment, who was busy collecting the corpse in front of him but did not show any surprises on his face. Looking at Colonel Akichi who came to apologize, Shigeru Sawada sighed and said, "After all, they are unwilling to let us retreat safely. Although there was no blocking us along the way, they gave us this move here. What a cunning opponent."

Colonel Xingxianyi heard the plain and unreproachful tone of his tone, and said with shame: "The subordinates were incompetent. They forgot the teachings of the division commander and relaxed their vigilance. They did not expect that they would dare to launch a sneak attack on our army in the plains. Not only did the troops suffer great losses, but they were also run away by those despicable sneak attackers. Please punish the division commander."

Regarding Colonel Akitoi's apology, Shigeru Sawada waved his hand and said, "You can't blame you for this matter. It's because our opponent is too difficult to deal with. He has been calculating us since we entered the mountain. All kinds of plans are almost linked, and we are trying to find our weakest links, and we all start at the most unexpected place. Sooner or later, this person will be a major concern of the Kanto Army."

"Tell the troops to hurry up and collect the ferry equipment. I have sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Dohihara, asking him to mobilize a batch of ferries from Yuhara as quickly as possible. Tell the regiments to strengthen the vigilance and not repeat the ferry. The Fourth Division can no longer afford to lose that person."

If Shigeru Sawada was still very calm when he was attacked at the ferry. But when he retreated to Kamusi and saw the bodies of military and political facilities that had become ruins and a large number of executed senior Japanese and puppet army officials, he could no longer calm down. He almost slashed Kitano Takatsu who came to report with one knife.

Before the furious Shigeru Sawada calmed down, a telegram sent back from the Qunce Mountain front immediately trapped him in petrochemicals. He withdrew from Qunce Mountain to Jiamusi until now, in less than 36 hours, the Qunce Mountain front actually changed drastically.

Major General Black Rock was killed in the opponent's night attack, and the 44th Regiment was surrounded. The northern defense line composed of the Third Cavalry Brigade and part of the Fourth Cavalry Regiment was broken through within only two hours. The detachment he left was also separated from the main force, fighting and retreating to the Miaoling Mountain line. @ya
