Chapter 835 Self-Righteous
The headquarters of the 14th Division.
"Order the front line to intensify the attack on the enemy in front of you, and send additional squadrons of vanguard soldiers to conduct roundabout reconnaissance. We must find out the whereabouts of the Four Troops. Zhenzang-kun, you also know that the division headquarters has promised to the commander, in addition to conquering this battle In addition to the two big cities of Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, the Chinese are aiming to completely annihilate the small force of the Si Xing Regiment. Your Excellency the Commander has said that regardless of the current small size of this Chinese force, judging from its past performance and their presence in China. The status in people's hearts will sooner or later become a thorn in the side of the empire, and we must eliminate it as soon as possible.
This time the division did not hesitate to abandon the siege of the Chinese First Group Army and dedicated your 2nd Infantry Regiment to pursue the Fourth Army Regiment. This is not only my trust in you, but also the commander's expectation of you. You have not Any reason to fail.
What do you understand? "
A Japanese soldier with the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulder straps showed no expression on his face. He said coldly to an army colonel who was standing respectfully in front of him.
“Hi! I will continue to strengthen the search for the whereabouts of the Si Xing Regiment!” The Army Colonel bowed his head heavily.
The sweat on his forehead slipped quietly.
Although the boss in front of him did not have many harsh words, the army colonel knew the temperament of his division commander very well.
Dohi Madoka Kenji looks kind-hearted and like a good gentleman, but only those who know this guy who comes from a military family and has been engaged in espionage work for 30 years know how sinister Dohi Madoka Kenji is.
The brighter his smile, the more he kills.
Since the battle of the 14th Division, due to the resistance of the Chinese, there have been as many as 13 massacre orders personally issued by the lieutenant general division commander in front of him.
Because three soldiers who entered a Chinese village to collect food committed inappropriate acts against Chinese women, the local villagers surrounded and killed the three men in anger. The soldier casually ordered the massacre of the village!
A large village with thousands of people was burned to ashes overnight, leaving no one alive, from an octogenarian to a baby under one month old.
That kind of indifferent contempt for life makes even colleagues who are equally murderous and unblinking feel numb.
"The Four Troops disappeared from our army's reconnaissance field of view. They just chose to stay in the day and night, and then changed their marching route." Kenji Dohi looked at his respectful subordinates, turned his gaze to the map, and analyzed calmly with squinting eyes. . “The Chinese played a little trick and seemed to choose the road closest to Jin Province, but in fact it was just a guise. They must have changed their route near the Xinxiang front line.
The north of Xinxiang is our military area. Unless the Chinese have a bad brain and dare to rush over fearlessly, there are only two directions.
One is to go straight away from Xinxiang to the south, then make a detour from Jiaozuo to Jincheng, and then enter the mountainous area;
The second thing! Then we will turn around and return to Zhengzhou, and then choose a route based on the direction of our army's attack;
Sadzo-kun, what kind of choice do you think he will make? "
The Japanese Army Colonel thought for a moment and replied with difficulty: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I think the first option is the most likely. Your subordinates may even think that the infantry regiment will do the opposite and still follow everyone's imagination. Continuing along the shortest path without engaging in tactical deception is perhaps the most successful tactical deception.”
"Sadazo-kun, of course you have your reasons for thinking so. If you were an ordinary Chinese commander, both the first option and the possibility you mentioned would exist." Doi Madoka Kenji seemed to have already guessed When he heard his subordinate's answer, a smile appeared on his face. "However, you still don't know enough about the opponent you are about to face, and this is what you need to strengthen."
“Hi! Please give me your guidance, Division Commander!” The Army Colonel bowed his head respectfully.
"Six days ago, after receiving the killing order from the Commander to the Four Troops, I studied all the information about the young leader of the Four Troops. Sadazou-kun, I don't know if you believe that I am here. I have worked in the Imperial Intelligence Department for thirty years, but I have deep confidence in my abilities." The expression on Kenji Doi's face was solemn as never before. "His Excellency General Judai Terauchi commented on the young Chinese soldier that sooner or later he will be a thorn in the side of the empire, but I think that if he is given more time, he will not only be a thorn in his side, but he may even become a great enemy of the empire. No one knows how many Imperial warriors will die at his hands."
At this moment, the Japanese Army Colonel could only respond to his division commander's evaluation of the Chinese soldier named Tang Dao with dumbfounded expressions.
Because, just as Doi Enkenji is confident in his own judgment, Ishiguro Sadazou is equally confident in his immediate superiors.
In 1913, he came to Yanjing as a member of the General Staff Headquarters and an army captain, and served as the assistant to the Japanese spy leader Hansai Attaché in the "Banxi Mansion" (the secret service agency), beginning his more than 30-year spy career in China. Dohi Madoka Kenji participated in almost all conspiracies to split China.
In 1924, during the second Zhili-Fengtian War, Feng Yuxiang launched the Yanjing coup, and Wu Peifu fled to Jiangxia in panic. Doihara immediately manipulated and planned behind the scenes, using the means of stopping bank exchanges, causing Wu Peifu's banknotes to turn into waste paper, accelerating the collapse of the Zhili warlords.
In June 1928, he personally participated in planning the "Huanggutun Incident". The Northeast King was killed in a bombing. The monolithic Northeast lost their most powerful ruler, and the Kwantung Army had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
In 1930, Doihara accepted the instructions of the Kwantung Army and established a secret service agency in North China to disintegrate the power of the Northeast Army.
If there is anyone in the world who understands the Chinese people better, there are not many people in Japan who can compare with Doi Enkenji.
However, his evaluation of Tang Dao was too high.
If Tang Dao was a front army commander with more than 100,000 troops under his command, it might be normal, but at this time he was just the commander of a small infantry regiment commanding more than 2,000 people. What virtue and ability could he have?
“You can be surprised, but you have to believe it.” Kenji Doi's eyes were cold. "He was able to escape from the heavy siege of the Empire in the Battle of Sihang Warehouse. It can be said that his courage is amazing, and he has the terrain to take advantage of. But how to explain the Battle of Songjiang? Yanagawa Heisuke is also a veteran general of the Empire, but An army of 100,000 attacked 30,000, but it still delayed the Chinese for four days and nights, making the empire's strategic intention of encircling and annihilating its main force completely in vain.
With the attack on the battlefield, thousands of Imperial soldiers were killed, including Hisao Tani, a reckless man who died on the battlefield, and was fatally shot by a gunman lurking in front of the headquarters.
If I am not sure that all this is related to Tang Dao in the early stage, but after looking at its performance in the later period, I can almost conclude that the failure of the Battle of Songjiang and the death of that reckless man Hisao Tani were inseparable from Tang Dao.
Regardless of the subsequent night attack by the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade, or the ambush at the Laojin Pit in the Guangde Mountains where the Guoqi detachment lost many troops, Tang Dao has used his weird and changeable tactical characteristics to the extreme. Even me, If you don't know him well, you will probably suffer a defeat like Ushijima Sadao, Ushijima Mitsuru, Kunizaki and others.
The cunning of this boy is far beyond the age of more than 20 shown in the intelligence. Perhaps this is the legendary military talent!
Tactical deception is a common occurrence for this guy, and doing the opposite is no longer enough to describe the variety of his tactics. If you only consider one change, you will probably be fooled by him.
Therefore, I have reason to believe that he has already predicted our prediction. He even prepared a countermeasure when marching to Xinxiang, a place that was originally impossible to appear, a few days ago. He should now be turning around and returning to Zhengzhou. On the way.
When our 14th Division completely conquers Xinxiang, the big city of Zhengzhou is right in front of us. When the entire army launches an attack on Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, it will take the opportunity to move towards Jincheng. Temptation, he could no longer divide his forces to pursue him, so he could escape. "
"Your Excellency, the division commander, must be wise enough to understand this man's plot, otherwise my dispatch of search troops to the south will be a useless effort." The army colonel's eyes were horrified, and he patted his immediate superior.
"Tang Dao has so many tricks and tricks that he has surpassed many generals I have seen. Looking at his opponents, many opponents have been defeated by his changeable tactics. But his tactics are changeable and he is also a double-edged sword. Sword, especially after victory after victory, surprise attacks have become a personal habit that is deeply rooted in his bones, and this habit, when understood by his enemies, may become a fatal flaw at any time.
Zhenzang-kun, there is an old Chinese saying that says, 'Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent.' If you want to be an excellent commander, don't let your combat characteristics become the norm, lest your opponents take advantage of you! Remember! "It felt good to be flattered by his subordinates. Doihara Kenji showed a little pride on his face and continued.
"Hi! Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have learned a lesson!" The Japanese Army Colonel nodded heavily. "However, the reason why I say that if Tang Dao is not killed, he will become an enemy of the empire sooner or later, is not because of his cunning and brilliant achievements." Dohi Enkenji's eyes turned solemn. "After my intelligence analysis, I suddenly found that this son rose like a meteor, with almost no warning. In just one battle, he was promoted from an army sergeant to a second lieutenant, then to a lieutenant, and finally promoted because of the need for Chinese propaganda. Becoming an army colonel has taken ten or even ten years for ordinary people, and I can't find any other reason to explain it except luck.”
“If it were just luck, this person would be no better.” A trace of contempt flashed in the Army Colonel's eyes.
Japanese people value practicality the most and have never paid much attention to ethereal things like luck.
“You are wrong. Although the fortune that the Chinese often talk about sounds very mysterious, it actually exists. Throughout China's thousands of years of history, almost all successful people have luck.
How could the emperor of the Han Dynasty become an emperor with an area of tens of millions of square kilometers without luck? How could the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty go from being a beggar to the person who destroyed the Mongolian and Yuan Empire if he did not have enough luck? The list goes on.
If you still don't believe it, after Tang Dao was promoted to an army colonel, he originally had an empty title and had only a hundred soldiers under his command. However, when he arrived in Songjiang, he quickly gained the trust of the top commander of Songjiang at the time, and instantly had a hundred soldiers under his command. It swelled to a thousand people. From the original base, it gained the support of the military generals and finally formed an elite infantry regiment.
The intelligence also shows that he maintains good relations with several Chinese generals, and these people will inevitably become his help in the future. Is this all a kind of luck?
If you give him enough time to gradually join forces, he will be the center to unite a force that even the empire cannot ignore. If you combine it with his original ability, do you think he will become the empire's formidable enemy? ? "Dohi Madoka Kenji shook his head and explained.
"This enemy of the empire must be eliminated first and quickly! He must not be allowed to escape." The army commander took a breath.
“Haha! You don't have to face a formidable enemy!” Seeing that his subordinate was finally touched by his reasons, Doi Yuanxian'er's lips slightly raised and he chuckled. "The war between the Empire and China is like a rabbit and a wolf on the grassland. The rabbit can escape the fate of being hunted several times by relying on the cunning rabbit's three burrows, but in the end, it will still be found and eaten by the wolf. This kind of relationship between countries The war in the end depends on strength!
Tang Dao is just one of those cunning rabbits. What we have to do now is to find him and kill him, that's all. "
“Hi!” The Japanese Army Colonel stood at attention and nodded.
After adjusting his military uniform, the captain of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 14th Division turned around and left with confidence.
Kenji Doihara watched his subordinates leave with satisfaction. He left the intelligence department more than a year ago and became the commander of the army's front-line troops. He led the 14th Division into North China half a year ago. Many generals in the army headquarters and even him Many of his subordinates also doubted his command ability, but as the war progressed, he used his military exploits to answer everyone's doubts.
The reason why the captain of the 2nd Infantry Regiment who had just left was selected by him to deal with the Four Elements Regiment was not because of how powerful Ishiguro Sadazou was, but because he was the first commander-level officer to surrender to him. After his careful guidance, After that, if he can make great achievements, he can raise him to the rank of major general brigade commander, and transfer the major general brigade commander of the 27th Infantry Brigade who often contradicts him, and the 14th Division will be completely There is only one voice.
The voice belongs to Kenji Doihara, even though he has only been the leader of the guru for only half a year.
Kenji Doihara's ambition is far more than just a lieutenant general division commander. His wish is to sit on the position of army general. If there is a chance, it is not impossible to become an imperial marshal. Therefore, he has spent decades embezzling China spared no effort to fuel the situation. Otherwise, given his family background, it would be difficult for him to ascend to a high position in peacetime.
In the past time and space, Doihara Kenji had almost fulfilled his ultimate dream. After the Battle of Yu Province, he was transferred back to China due to his outstanding military exploits, returned to the intelligence agency, and established the largest intelligence agency against China in Songhu. , and in two years he will be promoted to Army General.
However, his ambitions ended here. As Japan launched the Pacific War, the war situation that had been full of hope began to deteriorate. Kenji Doihara's dream of being an imperial marshal was completely shattered, and he became a military commander after the war. level war criminal.
That one is going to the gallows.
In this time and space, the variable Tang Dao suddenly appeared, and the original destiny of Kenji Doihara, who had interacted with this variable, would inevitably change.
As for how it will change, it depends on what he taught his subordinates: luck is an indispensable thing in a person's life.
When he met Tang Dao, who was thrown into this time and space by God, he was destined to be the unlucky kind.
Having worked in intelligence for more than thirty years, he already had a good understanding of Tang Dao, and he almost guessed the marching direction of the Four Lines Regiment correctly.
That's right, after the Fourth Army Regiment delivered the supplies promised to General Song overnight, they used the cover of night to retreat instead of advancing. No torches were lit at night. The entire army only used a few flashlights to lead the way, even if they only marched 20 miles in a night. At a very slow speed, they also resolutely retreated towards Zhengzhou.
This is also the reason why the Japanese reconnaissance planes in the sky, motorcycles, cavalry, and reconnaissance troops on the ground were all over the place, but no trace of the Fourth Line Regiment could be found.
It's just that Kenji Doihara guessed correctly but misunderstood the process. Tang Dao did not retreat to the surroundings of Zhengzhou as he imagined, waiting for the two big cities to become bait to attract the main force of the Japanese army, and then leave.
Based on Tang Dao's understanding of the Japanese army, he knew that after they captured two big cities, if they suffered heavy casualties, they would vent their anger on the ordinary people, and they would have to fight the Japanese army no matter what.
But Tang Dao knew very well that after the Japanese army conquered Xinxiang, that was the end of it. It was not that they did not want to attack, but that Commander Cheng wasted no time and blew up the only passageway on the Yellow River 30 kilometers away from Zhengzhou City. Iron Bridge - Yellow River Bridge.
Facing the surging Yellow River, the Japanese tanks and artillery could only look at the river and sigh. The Yellow River is not the Yangtze River. Their inland river ships can gallop on the Yellow River to help them bombard the defenders on the shore. If they cross the Yellow River, the Japanese army will have to fight for their lives. Before they could find a good way to break through the Yellow River barrier, the Xuzhou War ended.
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops jumped out of the encirclement and retreated to central China in large strides. The man who no longer had any scruples personally ordered the explosion of the Garden Gate. The crazy Yellow River flooded everywhere, drowning countless civilians, and also killed many people who were still on the banks of the Yellow River. The 14th Division, which was left standing, received a blow.
It is said that Kenji Doihara and his son were almost drowned, which shows how turbulent the Yellow River is.
Tang Dao does not need to worry about the safety of the big city of Zhengzhou at this time, and the safety of the surrounding people can be temporarily guaranteed. The reason why Tang Dao retreated to the surrounding areas of Zhengzhou was purely because he suddenly remembered something.
Because of the bombing of the Yellow River Bridge, the Chinese soldiers fought here with the Japanese troops who also knew the importance of the Yellow River Bridge and came to attack. Not only were there heavy casualties, many Xinxiang people who had no time to retreat were stranded on the banks of the Yellow River and were massacred by the Japanese troops. .
This time, Tang Dao must not let tragedy happen. Not only must he save those people, but he must also beat the Japanese vanguard here to a **** head, and then leave with his head held high.
This is the first battle when the Four Troops are about to arrive in northern China.
Let's take action on the 14th Division.
Doihara Kenji thought he knew enough about Tang Dao, but unfortunately, that was just what he thought.
Tang Dao's personal habit is not to fight strangely, but that no matter how he fights, the dead Japs are the good Japs.
Poor Colonel Sadazou Ishiguro was led astray by his boss who had been involved in the intelligence agency for decades.
Of course, more importantly, his luck is really not that good!
ps: Fengyue was completely out of sorts yesterday. She clearly had an outline, but what she wrote was like shit. I couldn't bear to look at it, so I wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote. After struggling for a whole day, I still couldn't write any decent words. In anger, I just decided I stopped writing and went out to play football. I started writing again today and finally came up with a "Tufeiyuan" that I understood. This guy is a shrewd enemy.
