At this time, the situation in Japan was not very good.
The theory of quick victory in March failed.
The war fell into a protracted war.
The battlefield continues to expand, resulting in insufficient military strength everywhere, and gradually increasing loopholes, so that they are often counterattacked.
Although they occupied a large area, they also plundered a large amount of supplies.
But most of these materials went into the pockets of those consortiums, turned into their wealth and weapons, and were reinvested into the battlefield.
And the poor people still can barely make ends meet.
More and more materials are included in the list of controlled items.
Their living standards are even worse than before the war.
The rich took advantage of the war to make a fortune, while the poor could only get death notices.
Increasingly, complaints are circulating privately.
The top management is also worried about this.
They need good news to divert people's attention.
Wei Wu appeared in their field of vision at this appropriate time.
This made those big shots very happy.
Under their deliberate promotion, Wei Wu's deeds were widely disseminated.
The people finally got a window to vent their anger.
There were a large number of petition parades on the streets, hoping to give Wei Wu a status worthy of his heroic status.
The military also held a meeting specifically for this purpose.
In the end, it was decided to use this incident to relieve the increasingly tense conflicts in the country.
After some discussions, it was finally decided to promote Wei Wu to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
Positions and positions will not be transferred for the time being.
After the order was issued, the whole society cheered.
Everyone who participated in the march believed that it was their own contribution.
When I chatted with my neighbors in the evening, I also had something to talk about.
The accumulated emotions were vented.
For a time, the hardships caused by the war seemed much lighter.
Of course, it is impossible for the military department to hold a meeting just for a person like Wei Wu.
Wei Wu currently does not have this qualification.
In addition to Wei Wu's matter, the military headquarters also appointed a new division commander of the Osaka Division at the meeting.
That was Yamashita Fengfumi, who would later be known as the Malayan Tiger.
Because the Battle of Nomenkan was about to take place, in order for Yamashita Fengwen to catch up with the battle, the military specially allocated a plane to allow Yamashita Fengwen to fly directly to Harbin.
Wei Wu was a little disappointed when he heard the news.
If he was flying, he couldn't let Yang Guangye pick up the railway.
However, overall, it's not a big problem.
He has disclosed the information to the Soviet Union. Compared with history, the Soviet Union will be more prepared this time.
I believe it will teach these little devils an unforgettable lesson.
However, according to history, the Fourth Division will also be included in the offensive sequence.
This means that Wei Wu may also use Tianling Gai to catch Soviet tank shells.
Wei Wu thought about how to avoid going to the battlefield.
After all, the firepower of the Japanese army is only adequate on the Asian battlefield.
To fight the Soviet army, it is basically a matter of hitting an egg against a stone, with no chance of winning.
If it doesn't work, it will be like a chicken flying with eggs.
Otherwise, there would not be a million-strong Kwantung Army that was wiped out by the torrent of steel in one month.
"Sato!"
Wei Wu called his chief of staff.
"Co-captain."
Kenji Sato walked in quickly.
"Now, there is something related to our wealth and life that I leave to you to do."
Wei Wu said seriously.
"Captain, please give me the order."
Sato looked solemn.
"Listen to me, go buy these things..."
Wei Wu gave Sato face-to-face instructions.
"Captain, are you serious?" Kenji Sato looked at Wei Wu in shock.
"What? Could it be that you want to throw away your life for the ambition of those military masters?"
Wei Wu looked at Sato Kenji coldly.
"I see."
Kenji Sato immediately went out to make arrangements.
He still has two children at home waiting for him to send his salary back.
He can't die here.
…
After Yamashita Fengwen arrived in Harbin, the first thing he did was to hold a meeting of all military officers.
"Gentlemen, we have reached a bottleneck on the mainland battlefield. The empire needs a new breakthrough. To the north of us, there is a vast and vast territory, which is rich in potatoes and can provide us with abundant food."
“There are still massive resources available to supply our factories.”
"I will announce the start of the Great Northern Operation Plan and announce the combat objectives of each unit."
Yamashita Fengfumi took out the battle plan drafted by the base camp and read it in public.
Wei Wu copied down all the key points and planned to look for an opportunity to sell it to Zogel.
He will not miss any opportunity to weaken Japan.
Even if it allows the Soviet Union to eliminate one more group of Japanese soldiers, it would be good.
The battle plan was very long, and Wei Wuguang's notes contained more than 20 pages.
Yamashita Fengwen read out the battle plan while watching the performance of everyone below.
Most people were sitting upright and seemed to be concentrating, but in fact some were already distracted.
Only Wei Wu was copying notes seriously.
Yamashita Fengwen was very satisfied.
"Sure enough, he is a young officer who is recommended by the Asahi Shimbun. His seriousness is enough to overshadow everyone else."
Unknowingly, Yamashita Fengwen had a crush on Wei Wu.
I plan to find an opportunity to support this junior.
"This is the overall combat plan. Your respective combat missions will be issued separately later. Three days later, all troops will set off immediately."
Yamashita Fengwen announced the order.
"yes!"
Everyone stood up.
Three days later, it was time for the troops to set off.
Yamashita Fengwen led the division headquarters to wait at the city gate for other troops to meet.
However, no one came even after sitting and waiting. Two hours after the appointed time, there was still no one there.
Yamashita Fengwen was completely stunned.
He had never seen anything like this before.
What about people from a larger division?
Why are they all gone?
"Let's go to the station and have a look."
Yamashita Fengwen angrily led people to the headquarters of the Eighth Regiment.
When he arrived at the Eighth Wing's station, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The entire eighth regiment is already full of wounded soldiers, and the regiment health center is packed with sick patients.
The courtyard was crowded with patients.
Yamashita Fengwen squeezed twice, but he couldn't squeeze in.
"How is this going?"
Yamashita Fengwen asked angrily.
"Reporting to the division commander, we are all suffering from beriberi due to acclimatization. The regiment doctor is treating us and we are temporarily unable to march."
The captain who stayed here quickly reported.
After hearing this report, Yamashita Fengwen's face turned green.
The Fourth Division has been stationed here for several years, and now you are telling me that we are not accustomed to the climate?
That’s not how you make up excuses, right?
"Baga, a bunch of bastards, losers!"
Yamashita Fengwen angrily took out the spirit injection stick: "Let everyone line up, I want to check one by one!"
