Chapter 399 Reflection
After leaving Yamada, she sat alone in the room and reflected. Seeing Kita having such loyal Inago, he naturally had some thoughts in his mind. Why didn’t he have a loyal subordinate? With his identity, is it so difficult to find a few loyal subordinates? Yamada kept reflecting.
Yamada's situation is very special. People with backgrounds like him often come out to gilt. Once the time is ripe, he will leave. Therefore, Yamada never considered recruiting a few younger brothers and cultivating a few subordinates who are loyal to him. At that time, he was alone. His family background made him look down on those subordinate officers at all. In Yamada's eyes, those officers from ordinary families have no prospects. People with backgrounds like Yamada will naturally continue to be promoted in the future, and they will not be able to stay in one place.
Yamada thought that he had just been on the front line to gilt, and he would leave here soon, and his military post would continue to be promoted, so there was no need for him to handle personal relationships with his subordinates. From the bottom of his heart, he never looked down on an officer, it was just a way to use his relationship.
This incident made Yamada clearly see the importance of being loyal to his subordinates. If there were a few people who were loyal to him here, would something happen to his family? It would definitely not be possible. In that way, he could send someone to his subordinates to bring his family here in person. Even if something happened, they would try their best to protect their families and not let them get into trouble. But now? His family was captured by the Eighth Route Army and he didn't even see him.
Yamada felt the more he felt hateful! He secretly blamed himself in his heart, why didn’t he find a few loyal people to train? He was so bastard. In fact, it was not Yamada who didn’t want to cultivate a few loyal people. He considered this when he first came to China, but when he arrived at the army, the situation changed.
How could a person with background like Yamada start from the bottom? As soon as he joined the army, he was appointed as the squadron leader. The reason why he was appointed as the squadron leader was because his superiors were worried that he would be killed in the battle, so he was placed in the position of squadron leader. After all, a squadron is a big team, and it is still safe for a squadron soldiers to be safe in China as long as they do not encounter the large Chinese troops. His family is different from other families. He did not send him to such large army to fight, because the situation is much more complicated. For example, there are even more fish and dragons in the big divisions, and there are all kinds of people. It is not convenient to do something. After all, there are people from that family there, which is really inconvenient.
It is different to arrange Yamada into the sequence of troops fighting with the Eighth Route Army. First of all, his safety is very guaranteed. They all know the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army. He has a squadron of soldiers in his hands, and he can resist for a period of time even if he encounters the Eighth Route Army. Even if he cannot fight with the Eighth Route Army for too long, it is still easy to escape with his soldiers. The Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment were very poor at the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, many people did not even have a gun, which was not at the same level as the Japanese troops. If they wanted to escape, they could not stop them.
When he was serving as the squadron leader, Yamada did promote several subordinates. Unfortunately, he was promoted to military positions not long after, and transferred to other troops, leaving his original troops. The reason was that his commander really didn't want to keep him any more. He was like a bomb, and if one was not properly handled, it would be very dangerous. What if something happened to him during the battle one day?
Therefore, his commanders kept reporting military merits to him. This is how the Japanese troops were. They all rely on military merits. Because his military merits exceeded the rating level, Yamada was quickly promoted.
Yamada also jumped from one unit to another to become the corps captain. One unit is different. In the past, when he was a squadron leader and a brigade leader, he usually cooperated with other units more often, but the corps captain is different. Generally, the Japanese corps operated alone, and at this time his command and combat ability is needed.
Yamada's ability is pretty good, and his combat command ability is not in vain. He also fought many battles of all sizes, but sometimes he is too crazy. He likes to advance alone and go deep into the other side to fight. Yamada's fighting style made his commanders very nervous. They know Yamada's background. What if something happens to him in such a rash battle?
Seeing this, the commanders no longer wanted to continue to be nervous like this. They joined forces to make military achievements for Yamada and jointly recommended Yamada to their superiors. With their help, Yamada magically became the commander of the brigade, and his military position was even more like a rocket. However, his promotion speed also made him lose interest in his subordinates, because he yearned for a higher position. In his opinion, these subordinates were of no use at all. As long as he managed them well, he would leave. At that time, he would change a group of subordinates and train them without any use at all, so Yamada lost interest in training his subordinates.
Yamada thought so, his subordinates were different. Yamada's subordinates wanted to have a good relationship with Yamada at the beginning. After all, Yamada's strength is still very strong and is also very beneficial to their future development. But seeing that Yamada's attitude towards them is always so lukewarm, these people feel cold.
Since Yamada was promoted to major general, he has been replaced in several places. After Okamura Nishi took office, he directly transferred Yamada to Xiangda. Yamada came to Xiangda very much cared about his subordinates here. Sometimes he would inexplicably get angry with his subordinates, and many of them had been punished by him. The subordinates were very afraid of him, and some even secretly dissatisfied with Yamada, and often they did not execute his orders seriously.
This time, the Nishida Squadron, Ueda United and Songlian Brigade were obviously not trying their best. Although they were charging to the death, they did not try their best. If they cooperated to launch a charge against the New Orleans, how could the New Orleans last for so long?
It was Yamada's harshness towards his subordinates and his dissatisfaction with him that his family was eventually captured by the Operations Department. Nishida Squadron also became a victim of this ambush, entirely because of Ueda and his slackness in orders. Nishida Squadron was eliminated.
At this moment, Yamada had figured it out thoroughly. He secretly decided to train some subordinates and a group of subordinates who were completely loyal to him.
