An aura of despair spread in Isotani Rensuke's division headquarters. All Japanese officers had no hope for this battle, and the peripheral Chinese troops were slowly besieging them.
Only those grassroots soldiers of the Japanese army who have been brainwashed by the "spirit of Bushido" to become human flesh machines will be happy not to find North, thinking that this is a great achievement, and as long as they survive, they will be rewarded with glory and promotion.
But these Japanese soldiers may not have thought that they have no chance of winning this battle. This is destined to be a defeat, and it is the kind of defeat that will lead to a complete defeat. The difference is that they can only see which soldier can No soldier is lucky enough to survive.
Isotani Rensuke looked around and said slowly: "Everyone, it seems that the time will soon come when we must be loyal to the emperor. We still have 20,000 troops. Please stick to your position. , we have to hold on until the last moment, maybe by then our reinforcements will arrive. Please hold on, please!"
With that said, Isotani Rensuke bowed deeply to the frustrated people, his expression was very real.
For these Japanese troops who are in the center of the encirclement, do they have any other way out besides resisting to the end? It seems that there is no more!
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, now we have fallen into a heavy siege by the China Army, but we still have 20,000 troops. We can definitely survive the reinforcements from the commander of the front army, General Juichi Terauchi!" One of the three Said a young officer in his teens, who looked to be in the rank of lieutenant colonel.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I also agree with Matsushita-kun's opinion!" Another major said.
"Yo Xi, your Excellency the division commander, we are officers of the Young Forces. We are very honored not to die in the crisis of '226'. Now the time has come to be loyal to the emperor!" The one who spoke was a colonel. An officer with military rank, he is none other than the chief of staff of the 10th Division!
The Tenth Division is the home base of the Imperial Sect, and most of the Imperial Sect officers who remain in the Tenth Division are young officers.
These young officers were fearless. They dared to directly kill Nagata Tetsuzan, the leader of the ruling faction, in the coup. Not to mention that they tried to kill the then Japanese Prime Minister Keisuke Okada during the mutiny. Unfortunately, they failed. success.
However, in addition to Okada Keisuke not being killed, the "results" of the Shouzhuang faction are very rich, including the 77-year-old Navy Admiral Minoru Saito who served as the internal minister, and the successor of Jinzaburo Masaki, one of the leaders of the Emperor's faction, as the director of education. The 62-year-old Army General Watanabe Taro, Finance Minister Takahashi Korekiyo and others were all killed.
In addition, they also made crazy moves to surround the Metropolitan Police Department, blockade the Ministry of War, and capture the "Imperial Palace" (the residence of the Emperor of Japan).
This shows how daring these people are. The Tenth Division is the only division besides the First Division that is composed of grassroots troops mainly composed of young men from the Imperial Sect. Therefore, when they are truly desperate At that time, these crazy young Japanese officers seemed to have the same momentum as during the mutiny.
This is a bunch of lunatics!
"Be loyal to the Emperor!!" The officers at the headquarters of the 10th Division all shouted in unison. The scene was very crazy!
Ever since, this group of crazy Japanese officers were ready to fight to the end!
After this group of young officers of the Japanese Tenth Division were ready to fight to the death, orders were issued to the Japanese troops trapped in Taierzhuang.
…
The sky is getting dark. Compared with the sun that sets so quickly in winter, the sun sets much later in spring.
Thanks to the vehicles from the Jiangsu Second Automobile Corps sent by the Chief's Department to help carry supplies, at this time, most of the supplies of the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone had been transported to the national army guards near the West Gaohuang Temple. Village.
Overall, it came relatively quickly.
When the vehicles of the Second Jiangsu Automobile Corps arrived at Xigaohuang Temple, Zhang Tianhai had already woken up for a long time. He was leading a squad of soldiers from the guard platoon to receive the supplies from the supply camp. The most important thing was to meet this second squadron. The commander of the automobile corps wanted to get close to each other.
Don't underestimate the designation of the Second Automobile Corps. Although it is not a combat unit, they know the wealth of each unit under it best. It is not easy to control their mouths.
Especially those like Zhang Tianhai, who are the ones who have "ghosts in their hearts" - during the great victory in Linyi, they had not yet figured out how many supplies the group had intercepted.
Therefore, this is the reason why Zhang Tianhai came here. What he is most afraid of is being caught by the tail. If someone wants to hold on to this, there may be trouble.
The captain of the Second Jiangsu Automobile Corps is called Zhou Quanmin, with the rank of colonel. He is a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old. Perhaps it is because he has been in the car for many years, so Zhou Quanmin looks a little fat. After all, like other officers, he is basically Most of them are very thin, and fat ones are rare. Unless they are senior officers, they must be at least Guan Linzheng's level!
"Captain Zhou, thank you for your hard work along the way!" After seeing Zhou Quanmin, Zhang Tianhai first gave a military salute to show respect.
"You're welcome, Captain Zhang." Zhou Quanmin always had a smile on his face, making people feel that he was very kind.
But Zhang Tianhai did not dare to take Zhou Quanmin lightly. After all, a person who can sit in this position must not be simple. Moreover, he is a colonel in troubled times, so he must have real abilities...
As for those who are incompetent, they may have been tripped to death long ago, right? Of course, if you are protected by relatives like Minister He, it will probably be fine, but how many people are there who have such connections?
Even among He Yingqin's nephews, only He Shaozhou is more famous. Who else is more famous? Not sure...
"Come on, Captain Zhou, have one." After saying hello, Zhang Tianhai quickly took out his cigarettes and handed one to Zhou Quanmin.
Zhou Quanmin was a little surprised by Zhang Tianhai's enthusiastic behavior. After all, he usually came into contact with people like the director and section chief of the Logistics Department of the Fifth War Zone, or people from the logistics offices of various group armies. Those people were very kind to them. It's not that easy to talk about, after all, those people's status is indeed higher.
Usually people with high status, especially those who are asked to do something for themselves, have a stronger status, so for Zhou Quanmin, the person in charge of the execution unit, sometimes it is still quite aggrieved.
So when he saw Zhang Tianhai's enthusiastic behavior, Zhou Quanmin was inevitably a little surprised and immediately took a high look at Zhang Tianhai.
In fact, it is not that Zhou Quanmin has never heard of Zhang Tianhai. After all, the first regiment directly under the Third War Zone is also one of the few elite German troops in the Fifth War Zone, especially in the battle in Linyi. It's very brilliant.
Although the credit of the first regiment directly under the third theater has been obliterated to a certain extent, this does not affect the name of the first regiment directly under the third theater gradually becoming louder among the grassroots troops in the fifth theater.
As the saying goes, gold always shines.
Ever since, under such circumstances, Zhou Quanmin, who often traveled around, had also heard of Zhang Tianhai's name.
"Thank you, Captain Zhang. You're welcome." Zhou Quanmin took the cigarette with a smile, and his attitude was still very good.
"No, no, no, it's you who are polite. You led the officers and soldiers of the Second Automobile Corps to help us transport supplies, which is a great contribution. Thank you." Zhang Tianhai and Zhou Quanmin laughed and said enough polite words.
"I just received the order from Chief Li in the war zone and then carried out the mission. However, Commander Zhang's troops are strong, which allowed Zhou to see what a real elite is." Zhou Quanmin said with a smile, a bit like That looks like Maitreya Buddha.
Zhang Tianhai lit a cigarette, patted Zhou Quanmin on the shoulder, and said: "Our regiment is a strengthened regiment. It is indeed larger than some other troops, so we also have more supplies. Thank you for your hard work, Captain Zhou." Let’s wait for the brothers.”
Zhou Quanmin was not a fool, so he naturally understood the implication of Zhang Tianhai, so he smiled and said: "Captain Zhang, this is not a big deal, so just don't worry." They are the elite of our army, so it is normal for them to be better equipped."
Zhou Quanmin's intention was already obvious. Anyway, he just wanted to help him cover it up. That was probably it.
So, Zhang Tianhai smiled and said: "Thank you, Brother Zhou. When the battle in Xuzhou is over, I will treat Brother Zhou to a drink. I also ask Brother Zhou not to dislike my brother's kindness."
"Brother Zhang is a pillar of our country's army. He is a graduate of the seventh batch of Huangpu and a favorite disciple of the Chairman. Since I can give him this face, I am naturally grateful." Zhou Quanmin's There was a smile on his face, and he was not too tall and had some weight on his body, so he looked very much like Maitreya Buddha.
"Okay, great. Brother, hurry up, hehe..." Zhang Tianhai also laughed and said, I have to say that smile is very contagious.
"Okay, okay, that's when I came to see you. I just hope that I will never forget you." Zhou Quanmin said with a smile.
After going back and forth, the two of them became very familiar with each other. Maybe this was the skill of the officialdom. Zhang Tianhai was not a veteran in the officialdom, but Zhou Quanmin had enough skills, so that was enough.
