"I just participated in the joint army and navy meeting organized by His Excellency General Yamashita!" In the conference room, Iwabuchi looked grim three times: "Your Excellency, the General, means to make Manila an undefended city!" As soon as these words came out, everyone Everyone looked at each other.
Undefended city? That means all the previous efforts were in vain.
"However, I will never allow such a thing to happen!" Iwabuchi suddenly said three times: "I have decided to continue to defend Manila!" His decision was not surprising at all.
Previously, Masaharu Honma was responsible for all the defense of Manila. But Masaharu Honma is obviously disappointing.
In the end, after fierce debates between the Japanese army and navy, Iwabuchi succeeded Honma Masaharu three times.
The origin of Iwabuchi Sanji is rather complicated. His family, starting from his ancestors, all served in the Japanese Army.
But Iwabuchi ended up becoming a marine three times. This also made the Iwabuchi family very dissatisfied. After rising all the way to major general, Iwabuchi commanded the Marine Corps three times.
After Japan occupied the Philippines, the 17,000 Marines commanded by Iwabuchi three times were ordered to station in the Philippines and were temporarily under the command of General Yamashita Nobumi.
There would have been no problem if Yamashita served as commander-in-chief and unified command of the army and navy. The bad thing lies in the irreconcilable contradiction between the Japanese army and navy.
The Japanese navy is commanded by the army. This is a very rare thing, but it happened to Iwabuchi three times.
It is said that this is the result of the Iwabuchi family working behind the scenes. Therefore, the senior Japanese Navy general said with disdain that Iwabuchi was a man wearing the skin of the Imperial Navy three times.
"Army Red Deer"! Iwabuchi himself did the same thing three times. He is indeed a naval general, but due to family reasons, he himself is still more inclined towards the army.
And he has always been a Marine Corps commander, and perhaps deep down, he also thinks of himself as an Army Corps.
Therefore, after Tamasu's attack failed, Shintani Takuma suggested shifting the responsibility to the navy, and unexpectedly received Iwabuchi's acquiescence three times.
Regarding the candidate to succeed Masaharu Honma, Iwabuchi became the candidate recognized by both the army and navy three times.
As for the army, Yamashita Fengfumi had his own plans. He did not think Manila could be defended, and had no intention of defending Manila.
But if you give up the largest city in the Philippines so easily, what if you are held accountable in the future?
Naturally, the responsibility can be shifted to Iwabuchi Sanji. He is a naval admiral! What about the Navy? From the bottom of their hearts, they never regarded Iwabuchi as one of their own.
If Manila can be held, it is the Navy's credit. Can't keep it? Iwabuchi three times will naturally have to take responsibility.
As for the 17,000 Marines, there was no way to withdraw them. Then let them fight for the Empire together in Manila.
Therefore, from the moment the Japanese army and navy made the decision, those who came from the navy
"Army Red Deer" Iwabuchi became the scapegoat chosen by both parties three times! Of course Iwabuchi Sanshi knew it.
He was unwilling to end up in this situation. Therefore, he also made up his mind to stick to Manila!
If you hold on, you will become a hero of the empire. If you can't hold it, let everyone
"Jade Broken" is here.
"The battle on Laite Island is not going well. There is nothing to hide." Iwabuchi looked gloomy three times: "The US military will soon launch a campaign on Luzon Island, and Manila will face a direct attack. Therefore, the base camp decided to Before it is completely locked down and transportation can barely be maintained throughout Southeast Asia, transfer the residents and supplies in Manila to Sumatra." Well, when he said these words, everyone knew that Manila had been completely abandoned. .
"Iwahashi Kazuo, left, is about to arrive in Manila and will be responsible for directing the transfer of Manila." Iwabuchi continued to speak out the orders from the base camp three times.
Kazuo Iwahashi, Chief of Staff of Japan's secret forces in Southeast Asia, Army Chief of Staff. With him commanding the evacuation, it can also be seen that Yamashita Fengfumi did not trust Iwabuchi three times at all.
Iwabuchi didn't care three times. It would be nice if all these things and people were evacuated. I can now let go and have a big fight in Manila.
"New Valley Daizuo!"
"exist!"
"You are responsible for connecting with Iwahashi Daizuo!"
"Hai!"
"Everyone, let's go for it." Iwabuchi said coldly three times: "Let Manila turn into a sea of fire and become a grave for Americans!"...
"Iwabuchi has gone crazy three times!" Takuma Shintani sneered: "He decided to bury himself here."
"It's always difficult for us to understand the thoughts of crazy people." Meng Shaoyuan said: "Since he wants to bury himself here, no one can persuade him."
"It is extremely difficult to defend Manila." Takuma Shintani immediately said: "This time, the Japanese base camp sent Kazuo Iwahashi to Manila to be responsible for the transfer of personnel and materials."
"Most of the supplies have entered the tunnel and are about to be blown up." Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "The 'Awa Maru' docked in Manila twice, and the last time in Sumatra."
"The last time?" Takuma Shintani was startled. Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly concealed: "Judging from the current war situation, Japan's defeat has become a foregone conclusion, and the mission of the 'Awa Maru' is about to end." Takuma Shintani was relieved: "Manila is too dangerous. I will consider it and let you Follow Kazuo Iwahashi to evacuate!"
"Senior, is Sumatra safe?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "The Allies are launching a large-scale offensive. Nowhere in Southeast Asia is safe. I stayed in Manila and was able to cooperate when the US military launched an attack. . Don't worry, senior, I can protect myself." Seeing that Meng Shaoyuan had made up his mind, Takuma Shintani did not force it: "Then you can continue to recover from your injury for a while, and you can almost go to work."
"Don't worry, Ouchi Yushi is not dead yet." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Whenever he dies, it will be the day I recover from my injuries." Although he has always been very optimistic about Meng Shaoyuan, this time, Takuma Shintani also obviously Some lack of confidence.
Meng Shaoyuan has been
After being "injured", he has been recuperating and has not done anything substantial. Can you kill Ouchi Yushi just by staying at home?
"Senior, everything has been planned." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Ouchi Yushi has fallen into chaos, it is time to give him a fatal blow!"
"Really?" Takuma Shintani looked at him: "Are you good at witchcraft?"
"What witchcraft?" Meng Shaoyuan felt confused. Takuma Shintani also laughed: "You can kill one person with three women at home, what is that if it's not witchcraft?" Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized: "If senior said this is witchcraft, then to be fair, senior, I still He really knows a little bit of witchcraft.”
