Just when Chinese commanders at all levels in Monan Town gradually recovered their confidence in Tang Dao's military order, they were in a small village less than 8 kilometers away.

A short but strong Japanese Army Major General wearing glasses also shouted a deafening slogan in the face of another Japanese Army Major General and five Japanese Army Colonels: "In this battle, Commander Shinzhanyuan and Commander Itagaki Army are all eager to all the lords here. If you work together, you will be able to wipe out the enemy in front of you! The empire, the prosperity of martial eternity!"

According to common sense, when the Japanese Army Major General shouts slogans, the other Japanese officers should stand up together and shout slogans together. This is not only a sign of cheering themselves up but also expressing firm obedience to military orders.

But what is embarrassing is that the Japanese generals present only stood up with five Japanese colonels. The round army major general shouted symbolically with disdain and disdain, but his butt was always on the chair, as if it was stuck with glue.

Even the five colonels who stood up, two of them shouted slogans were weak, as if they were not full.

"Mr. Big Bear, you can tell me what you are dissatisfied with my tactical arrangements directly, why do you have such an attitude?" The short Japanese Army Major General looked fiercely and looked aggressively at his colleague at the same level as him.

"No, no, Nakamura Jun, your tactical arrangement is very good. On behalf of my 4th Division, Xitu Detachment, you also know that our Xitu Detachment has come from Manchuria to this place for the great cause of the empire, and travels thousands of miles day and night. I really can't stand it. I can't stand it straight and can't stand it. If you can't stand it straight, please don't blame Nakamura Jun for any rudeness.

Of course, if you really want to blame Nakamura, let me tell you that the expedition of the West Turkish detachment of the 4th Division has long become a tired army and is useless. If you can be a second-line reserve team, I will also explain to the commander of the Sawada Division of the 4th Division and Commander Shinsanmoto!" The Japanese Army Major General's round face was full of smiles, and he explained slowly.

Masao Nakamura never thought that he would have such a day, and he would kick a fat man with a smile on his face.

Really, how could he say this?

What a bullshit, you traveled thousands of miles day and night, and you are obviously taking a train to listen to the wind and enjoy the snow all the way, okay? If you really want to deal with the difficulty of marching, I didn’t know how many mountain roads I climbed in this mountain valley in Jin Province this year.

That's fine, at least I understand how shameless it is, but the sentence that comes afterwards is so sarcastic. The meaning is that if you, Nakamura, then complain to the boss behind you! Why, you have a boss, don't I?

In addition, I would like to remind you that your Fifth Division is now affiliated to the Westward Advance Corps, and I am affiliated with the North China Front Army. Don’t try to use Itagaki Shiro to suppress me. I don’t want to use your tricks. The commander of General Shanshan Yuan behind me can crush you with just one finger. The biggest leader is the lieutenant general.

This almost pure threat is shameless, but unfortunately, it is a fact.

Although the Japanese army is now gathering a front army and a corps to face the shore, the command organization is quite chaotic. The Japanese Army Base Camp has not given a clear statement yet.

Although Japan and North China are half a square in terms of level, Shiro Itagaki, who is a well-known solemn man, has always been accustomed to being arbitrary.

Not to mention that he is leading the army alone now, even when he was still affiliated with the North China Front Army last year, the Front Army Command was just right. If he didn't want to pay attention, he wouldn't even hear back. The two commanders of the indoor mourning and Shanshan Yuan also "bittered the hedgehog". They could deal with him because they were determined to get him done, but they would have to stab him, so why bother!

How powerful it is, like the ongoing New Year's Day offensive, the North China Front Army, who was originally said to be responsible for restraining the Chinese army in Nakajo Mountain and covering the Westward Advance Corps to conquer the Chinese Yellow River trench and marching into the Guanzhong Plain.

The result was good. The Westward Advance Corps suffered a great loss in Tongguan and immediately reported the adjustment strategy of the base camp. The Zhongtiaoshan War Zone was reinforcing it into a siege between the two armies, and first solved Zhongtiaoshan and then broke the Chinese Yellow River defense line.

The base camp has changed every day, and they are all for the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor. The Japanese North China Front Army can tolerate it, but Shiro Itagaki directly served as the first commander of the front line of the Nakajoyama War Zone, commanding the front army at the corps level. Even General Shanshanyuan, who was in charge of Pingbei City, was still the nominal supreme commander of the entire North China battlefield.

General Shanshan Yuan had to take responsibility for the command errors in the war between Southeast and Eastern Jin. Although he was frustrated this time, he couldn't say anything, but there was an undercurrent within the Japanese North China Front Army.

Moreover, Shiro Itagaki was extremely domineering and directly appointed the commander of the 21st Brigade under his command as the highest commander of the Nakajoyama Central Breakthrough Theater, responsible for commanding the Nakamura Detachment of the Fifth Division, the West Turkish Detachment of the 4th Division, the 225th Infantry Regiment of the 37th Division, the 28th Artillery Regiment, the 28th Cavalry Regiment of the entire army, a total of 36,000 people participated in this battle.

If Shiro Itagaki personally took charge of the battle, Yukiosuke Okumi, the major general leader of the West Turkish detachment of the 4th Division, probably tolerated it. However, when he saw Masao Nakamura, the major general leader of the 21st Brigade who was at the same level, sitting in the main seat without anyone else, treating himself as an army collude, Yukiosuke Okumi, who was born in a merchant family, could no longer bear it.

The sarcasm was just an appetizer for the shrewd businessman's son. If Nakamura Masao didn't know anything, he didn't mind at all ordering the entire army to stage a wave of the whole army's labor force expeditions and could not stand the battle, and he quit.

This is not a "lower defeat" and I am all at the same level. Okamatsu Yukinosuke's confidence comes from the lieutenant general commander behind him. The two are old neighbors on the street. Not to mention that they grew up naked together, just talking about the deep binding of the two businesses, the boss has to protect him.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, more importantly, Yukiosuke Okuba knew that General Shiro Shiro was very unhappy. The smoother the New Year's Day offensive under Itagaki Shiro, the more unhappy he would be. He blatantly gave Masao Nakamura, but his name was soon remembered by General Shiro Shiro. This person understood my heart very well and was of great use!

"Mr. Big Bear, the 4th Division's bravery is spread to the country. This battle is a big relationship. More than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the West Turkish detachment under Big Bear are required to overcome the fatigue from afar and fight hard to kill the enemy. I will report to Your Excellency Itagaki and Your Excellency Sawada to the heroic performance of the 4th Division." Facing this fellow hockey, Masao Nakamura tried his best to suppress his anger and finally lowered his posture.

Yukisuke Okumi, who is a shrewd businessman at heart, knew in his heart that it would be fine to confront him with a gun and a stick, but if someone put down his posture, he would be aggressive and would inevitably provoke Itagaki Shiro. That would be too unprofitable. Stop when he sees it is better.

It's like doing business. You can't put all your money in your pocket and give your competitors some way out. Don't force others to break the ball to death, otherwise both sides will be defeated.

"Nani! Nakamura Jun and the 21st Brigade were the leader of our imperial army. In the Xinkou battle, he defeated the four Chinese infantry divisions in front of him. He deserves the reputation of "Flowers of the Army". In this battle, there is a popular saying in the army that "never break the sword". If you are in charge of command, you will surely regain the glory of the day.

Then Nakamura Kun is soaring up, don't forget me like me who fights side by side!" Yukinosuke Okuba stood up with a smile on his face.

The words are so nice. Not only did they obey Masao Nakamura's statement, the almost flattering flattery was like a different person before, but wearing glasses made people unable to see his eyes flashing clearly, but Masao Nakamura was scolding MMP in his heart!

The 21st Brigade's performance in the Battle of Xinkou was very awesome, but it had a ball relationship with him, Masao Nakamura. At that time, he was just an army colonel and served as chief of staff in the 12th Division. He was not promoted to major general of the army until four months ago and was transferred to the 5th Division as the brigade commander of the 21st Brigade.

As for what it means to say, "the never-breaking saber", it is the recognition of his friends and classmates from the Army University, and it has something to do with the army.

When it comes to this, it was a deliberate reminder from this fat man in front of you that you have only been a major general for a few months? It’s amazing to have a nickname! Who can’t brag? In the future, I will not point fingers in front of me, the old major general.

But what can I do if I know, but I don’t allow others to praise others desperately?

Masao Nakamura is a pretentious academic school in Banban, and his quarrels are far from being a rival like Yukinosuke Okura who comes from the market.

The high-level military meeting of the Japanese Array against the Fourth Army of China ended in a happy mood, but anyone who understands it understands that the two major generals of the Japanese army looked down on each other, and their command system actually fell apart from the moment the front-line command center was established.

This disintegration even exists not only in the Central Defense Zone of Nakajoyama. From the moment when the Japanese Army Base Camp ordered Itagaki Shiro to serve as the highest commander of the front line of the Nakajoyama War Zone to command the 130,000 troops of the 6 divisions and the 50,000 troops of the Westward Advance Corps three days ago, the execution ability of the Japanese troops to obey the orders was greatly reduced.

Therefore, not only Masao Nakamura had a headache, but the frown of the squid man who had arrived in Yuncheng had never stretched out, even though he had gathered the nearly 200,000 troops he had dreamed of leading.

The Battle of Zhongtiaoshan has actually been fighting for more than 4 days. According to tactical deployment, of the 130,000 troops invested by the North China Front Army, except for two divisions that serve as reserves, the remaining 4 divisions have all been put into battle.

However, it is still in the siege stage, and it is not yet time to truly attack and cut through the opponent's defense line, and the battle is far from becoming increasingly fierce.

However, when various Japanese North China Front Army encountered difficulties in war, they rarely took the initiative to report to the front-line command of Itagaki Shiro in Yuncheng, but they used long-wave radio stations to contact the North China Front Army Command far away in Pingbei Castle.

Shiro Itagaki only has absolute control over 50,000 people under his command. No matter how strong it is, it can only be done.

Because this situation is actually the result of internal fighting between the Army Base Camp, Shanshanyuan has his supporters, and naturally he has his opponents. No one can stand in two teams at the same time, especially after Shanshanyuan failed to command the war twice in a row, the group of people who opposed him would launch him as the first bird, and there were even rumors that as long as the New Year's Day offensive completed most of the strategic ideas of the base camp, he would have a great chance of becoming the successor of the commander of the North China Front Army.

The Emperor has not transferred the position of Shanshanyuan yet, that is just the emperor who gave him face, and at least he had to stay in office for a full year.

Good guy, this is just about putting himself on the fire, and the short slut who paced back and forth in the command center with his hands behind his back could even imagine the cold look of the general commander when he saw his name.

"Sasaki-kun, where has the 9th Infantry Brigade reached now?" Lieutenant General Slaughter asked the Army Colonel who had been standing next to him without saying a word.

"Your Excellency the Legion Commander, Major General Kōzaki Katsuha had called at 7 o'clock in the morning. They were about to arrive in the area of ​​Shunwangping. As long as the Four Regiment dared to go from Taihang to Wangwu to Zhongtiao Mountain from Taihang, the 9th Infantry Brigade, together with the 5th Artillery Regiment and the 5th Cavalry Regiment," Sasaki Yusan, who had just been promoted to Chief of Staff of the 5th Division, three months ago, replied respectfully.

"Okay! I call Guoqian. This is the top secret intelligence collected for us by the top intelligence officer of the empire without hesitation. It is also an opportunity for Guoqian to avenge his previous shame. Don't let me down again." Although the lieutenant general of the short-scared army was still full of worries, he heard that the main force under his command was about to arrive at the preset position, his face was much better than before.

In the past few days, he, the front commander of the Zhongtiaoshan War Zone, has rarely felt like he was instructing the troops like an arm, and he had to be his direct troops.

"Your Excellency the Legion Commander, the Four Army Regiment is just an infantry regiment. Although its combat power is strong, our division will not have to use an infantry brigade and an artillery corps to deal with them. If this force can be placed in Major General Nakamura, he might be able to defeat the 4th Army defense line of the Chinese opposite in one fell swoop." Sasaki Yusan saw that his boss was feeling better at the beginning, so he hurried forward to ask for advice.

This is the cleverness of the chief of staff of this new division. What the leader needs when he is in a good mood is that his subordinates are dull. He can give his subordinates guidance. His subordinates nodded and bowed to his enlightenment, so that he can greatly satisfy his boss.

The charming feature of power is that it can not only influence the life and death of many people, but also gain the worship of people around you.

"Sasaki, that means you still lack sufficient understanding of the opponent of the Four-Level Regiment. Although the Chinese troops of the Four-Level Regiment are just infantry regiments, they have well-equipped combat will. In the last battle of Jindong, they were able to defeat the 21st Division with pure mountain defense.

And when you carefully study the military's record, you will be surprised to find that although their troops are not as strong as their opponents every time, they have almost never been defeated, and even won a few times.

The confidence brought by successive victories is the most solid foundation for becoming a strong army. If they are allowed to develop, they will definitely become a major concern of the empire.

Just in time, take advantage of this New Year's Day offensive to eliminate it!" Itagaki Shiro shook his head and patiently explained to his confidant.

"When the Legion Commander said this, I understand why the elite Chinese dared to rush to the Zhongtiao Mountain battlefield from afar. That's because they are confident enough that the Chinese army left behind in Taihang Mountain can withstand the siege of the empire's 80,000 troops, and they are confident that they can play their own strength in the Zhongtiao Mountain battlefield.

If they really give them time and space to continue to grow, they will definitely become extremely difficult beings." Sasaki Yusan's face showed a sudden realization, and his eyes were filled with admiration.

"However, under your plan, your elite army will eventually lead to the destiny of the entire army."

Really, when it comes to micro-expressions, this Japanese Army colonel is definitely at the textbook level.

It expresses respect without feeling extremely greasy flattery, everything is just right.

Otherwise, the Fifth Division and the affiliated 105th Division had a total of 8 infantry corps commanders. Why did he become the chief of staff of the division? Although he was still a colonel, with the foundation of the Fifth Division, it would only take a moment to be promoted to major general of the Imperial Army as the chief of staff.

"When the battle situation is not determined, you must not be arrogant! In addition, Nakamura Jun is not facing an ordinary enemy. The 4th Army of the Chinese has just been established and has ordinary combat power, but the 17th Division to which it belongs is an extremely tenacious army. In the battle between Niangziguan, the 20th Division suffered a considerable loss. Be sure to let Nakamura Jun be careful." Shiro Itagaki showed no slight pride in the face of the admiration of his subordinates, but instead looked solemn.

Don’t be arrogant when you win, don’t be discouraged when you lose! This may be considered the characteristics of Itagaki Shiro.

The Fifth Division had a brilliant record on the battlefield in North China, but it was not undefeated. The Guoqi Detachment transferred to the southeast was defeated in the Battle of Guangde. In the Battle of Taierzhuang, a detachment formed by the 105th Division of the affiliated division was almost wiped out.

But Shiro Itagaki still withstood the pressure from all parties, not only replenishing the 21st Brigade, which suffered heavy losses, but also tried his best to rebuild two infantry corpses that were almost seized from the corps flag.

Even Tang Dao never underestimated Itagaki Shiro, but regarded him as an extremely difficult opponent.

Tang Dao didn't expect that he hadn't even had the idea of ​​fighting the Fifth Division here, but Shiro Itagaki had quietly focused his focus on the Four-Shiro regiment, and even did not hesitate to draw a main force on the battlefield at this level of battle to deal with the Four-Shiro regiment.

From the perspective of intelligence war alone, Itagaki Shiro has already gained the upper hand.

The top secret military information of the four-way regiment that the generals of the 38th Army only learned about today was placed on the desk of the Japanese Nakajoyama Front Commander two days ago, and corresponding tactical arrangements have been made.

Before the main forces of the Four Army Regiment arrived, they had almost completed their mission, mobilized 12,000 main forces of the Japanese army, reducing the pressure on the Zhongtiaoshan Defense Zone.
Chapter completed!
