Matsui Iwane urged, fearing that Mamoru Iinuma would forget again.
Iinuma Mamoru also said quickly: "We were reprimanded by the headquarters, but the North China Expeditionary Army was praised. And if that is the case, why don't we learn from the North China Expeditionary Army's successful experience?"
Matsui Iwane frowned. He thought Iinuma Shoukai had some great ideas, but he actually sent troops to North China to learn from them. Doesn't that mean that their central China dispatched army is not as good as the North China dispatched army? Could it be that Mamoru Iinuma still thinks that they have lost not enough people now?
Matsui Iwane subconsciously showed an unhappy expression. Iinuma Mamoru saw it and smiled: "Matsui-kun, I know what you are thinking. The North China Expeditionary Army is currently in the spotlight. If we send an officer corps to learn from our experience, If so, it is equivalent to saying that our Central China Expeditionary Army is not as good as the North China Expeditionary Army, right?"
"Now that you know, you still come up with such a bad idea?"
Matsui Iwane was angry, but at this moment, Mamoru Iinuma smiled more and more proudly. He continued to explain: "Matsui-kun, this is exactly what we need those above to see. By doing this, it seems that we are bowing to the North China Expeditionary Force, but think about it in reverse. Isn't this what we are doing? A sign of humility?
And I believe that this is exactly what those in this department want to see.
Now that they are dissatisfied with us, we should humbly show it to them. Don’t they say that the North China Expeditionary Force is excellent? Then we will send an officer corps to study, so that those in the headquarters will feel that we are suffering and thinking about the reasons for our failure.
In this way, not only will the people in our headquarters praise us, but we can also pass the blame for the main attack on the opponent in the next battle.
Matsui-kun, didn’t you say that you don’t know how to fight the next battle without making mistakes? Now we don't need to think about it. Because the next battle will be fought by the North China Dispatch Army. "

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, Lord Numa Shou is so right. And we can use this to let North China send troops to provoke Dragon Boat Festival, and let Dragon Boat Festival go to North China to fight with the Second Group Army. Then we will be on the battlefield in Huainan. I’ll never meet the Dragon Boat Festival again, hahaha!”
Uemura Toshiichi agreed at this time, and also extended new ideas.
Matsui Iwane was enlightened after hearing this. He said to the two men: "Let's do this. Let the North China Dispatch Army fight the next battle. Moreover, the people we send will continue to dispatch troops in North China and say: How powerful was the Dragon Boat Festival? We Central China Dispatch Army The losses of the army are very heavy, so we hope that the North China Expeditionary Army can earn back the face of our Imperial Japanese Army."
"Wonderful! Matsui-kun, high!"
Mamoru Iinuma and Toshimichi Uemura gave him a thumbs up at the same time, complimenting him flatteringly.
Matsui Iwane looked proud, and immediately sent electric messages to the North China Expeditionary Force and the headquarters respectively, stating his willingness to seek advice humbly.
And sure enough, when Matsui Iwane received the order from the headquarters again, his tone softened a lot, at least the words were no longer just a curse.
This is a change, at least a good start.
Of course, to put on a show, you have to do a complete set. Matsui Iwane did send a regiment of officers to North China, arriving almost at the same time as the Dragon Boat Festival.
However, the little devil arrived at the headquarters of the North China Expeditionary Force, while the Dragon Boat Festival arrived at the ancient capital of Kaifeng at noon on January 12.
Kaifeng is the ancient capital of seven dynasties. The city walls are hard and thick, and the people in the city are also very enthusiastic. They stand in a long queue at the city gate and wave colorful flags.
Duanwu was sitting on a military jeep, looking at the cheering crowd, and said to Lao Abacus, who was driving beside him: "We won't collide with the old man, right?"
The old abacus thought for a while and said: "No way, the chairman came by plane, but we came by car. These are two different things!"
"Then what are so many people lined up on both sides doing? I guess the other party got the wrong person."
Duanwu guessed, and there were a lot of people. He was afraid of a collision when the car drove by, so he stood up and shouted: "Fellows, my name is Duanwu. I may not be the person you want to wait for. Please give way... .”
"Dragon Boat Festival, he is Dragon Boat Festival."
"So young! Such a young officer."
"Folks, what are you waiting for? Our hero is here."
"Lift him up!"
·············
Before the Dragon Boat Festival finished speaking, the welcoming crowds of people lined the streets rushed over like a tide, forcing the cars to stop.
And without any explanation, a dozen strong men grabbed Duanwu's arms, waist, and legs and lifted him out of the car.
The driver, Lao Baanpan, was so confused that he almost thought the people were rioting.
It was just that he did not expect, including the Dragon Boat Festival, that he fought a battle in Bengbu and defeated the Japanese army. The local people seemed to feel nothing. The Japanese were beaten away and they returned to live at home. That was all.
But the people around them didn't think so. They fought such a great victory in the Dragon Boat Festival and saved them from a military disaster. How could they not shed tears of gratitude?
What's more, there have long been rumors that the Chairman will hold a commendation meeting in Kaifeng to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival and other meritorious officials.
Of course, among these heroes, the Dragon Boat Festival is the most important. Li Zhongren fought on the northern front, and it was infuriating that Han Fuju fled without fighting. But the Battle of Huainan was different. The Dragon Boat Festival not only severely damaged the Japanese army and directly drove away the Japs, but also directly caused the Japanese army on the northern front to stop.
Therefore, in this battle, Dragon Boat Festival not only became famous in one battle, but also overturned all his previous achievements.
But this time it was extraordinary. Faced with such a heroic figure, the people spontaneously organized themselves.
Therefore, after receiving the news that the Dragon Boat Festival arrived in Kaifeng on the 12th, both the receiving officers and the people in the city all went out of the city to welcome the anti-Japanese hero-Duan Wu.
But they didn't know about it before the Dragon Boat Festival, and they thought these people had mistakenly recognized the wrong person. As a result, he was almost thrown into the sky by the common people.
"Folks, folks,..."
At this time, Dragon Boat Festival had no abilities at all. He could fight ten of the Japanese, but he could only let them abandon him to the common people.
And he threw it higher and higher. Duanwu was really worried that they wouldn't be able to catch any of them, and that his anti-Japanese hero would be so cold.
Of course, what he worried about did not happen. If more than a dozen strong men could not pick up one person, it would be over.
What's more, although Dragon Boat Festival is strong and muscular, he does not weigh more than 120 kilograms.
Such a portion can be tossed by even two people, let alone a dozen people.
When the Dragon Boat Festival was young, the Dragon Boat Festival was placed on a bamboo sedan chair amidst the cheers of the people. Then eight people carried the sedan chair and were carried into the city amidst the huge crowds and went straight to Kaifeng's Drum Tower Street! ...
