    Chapter 197: Angry Matsui (new book, please watch)

    Shanghai. Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters.

    "Snapped"

    A beautiful bone china tea cup was slammed to the ground and shattered into a pile of fragments, completing its life's mission.

    "Baga, Independent Brigade, Li Guoyao!"

    General Matsui Iwane, whose body has not yet recovered, roared angrily, his hoarse voice with murderous intent making everyone in the headquarters tremble.

    No wonder General Matsui was so angry. Just three hours ago, an emergency telegram came from the Chuxian front line, saying that Chuxian County was attacked by the Chinese army. Not only did the defenders suffer heavy losses, but even the division headquarters of the 13th Division was also attacked.  It was lost, and the whereabouts of the division commander Ogisu Tatehei and the chief of staff were unknown.

    After receiving the situation, Matsui Iwane was shocked and immediately ordered someone to investigate the situation.

    ??????????????????????? It wouldn¡¯t matter if just a small county town was captured, and at worst it could be recaptured, but now that the life or death of the division commander of a first-class division is uncertain, the situation is serious.

    You must know that until now, the entire Imperial Japanese Army has less than twenty first-class divisions. Although this 13th Division is the one with the worst combat effectiveness among all first-class divisions, even in 25 years  The designation was also removed, but it was also a first-class division!

    In particular, Ogisu Rihei is not weak in ability. He is not only a graduate of the Army University, but also served as the chief of staff of the Taiwan Army. He assisted Terauchi Juichi, Yanagawa Heisuke, and Hata Junroku as commanders. He has a wide network of contacts in the military.  The roots are also very deep.

    To be honest, if Ogisu Rihei and Ogisu were confirmed to be dead, Matsui Iwane would not be too worried. After all, there is no one who can't die when commanding a war.  Especially since the war between China and Japan started half a year ago, dozens of generals on both sides have been killed or injured. If you include those generals who were promoted to the special rank (posthumously awarded), there are hundreds of them. One more Ogisu Ribei is not enough.  What kind of.

    But if an army lieutenant general is captured, the consequences will be serious. This will be a fatal blow to the morale of the frontline soldiers.

    "Compared with the life and death of Ogisu Ripei, Matsui Iwane wanted to know more about what happened on the front line. How could the Chinese army suddenly attack Chuxian County and make dumplings of the 13th Division Regiment Headquarters.

    Just ten minutes ago, the troops on the front line finally had the latest news. According to the results of the investigation by Lai'an reinforcements, it was discovered that not only Chu County was captured by the Chinese army, but Nan Qiao was also lost, and even hundreds of troops transported to the front line were captured.  All the vehicles and supplies were robbed, and the person who did it was the daring Li Guoyao.

    Regarding the name Li Guoyao, Matsui Iwane not only hates it, but also fears it!

    He could never forget the assassination of Muto Akira at the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters. Although it was Colonel Muto Akira who died that day, everyone could tell that the other party was targeting Matsui Iwane.

    Fortunately, he was hospitalized due to illness that day and was not at the headquarters. Otherwise, it would have been Matsui Iwane instead of Muto Akira who died.

    What¡¯s more important is that the other party not only easily killed his chief of staff, but also manipulated Muto Akira¡¯s office, killing a deputy chief of staff the next day. This method was simply appalling.

    What frightened him even more was that after the investigation, it was found that the guy used the captured intelligence to ambush the Asaka Palace when he was evacuating Shanghai, which directly led to the death of King Jiuyan and became the first lieutenant general killed in the Imperial Japanese Army.

    All in all, that Li Guoyao was really terrible. Even now, Matsui Iwane¡¯s heart trembles when he mentions this name!

    "Your Excellency, Commander, it is a foregone conclusion that the 13th Division Regiment Headquarters has been captured/that the army will be taken away. No matter whether Ogisu Ripei is dead or alive, it will be impossible to direct frontline operations in a short period of time, and combat supplies have been robbed.  , the frontline troops will surely fall into an ammunition and supply crisis, so the most important thing now is how to clean up the mess." Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, commander of the Third Division, said in a deep voice.

    As the chief of staff of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, Muto Akira, was assassinated, and the new commander, Asaka Palace Hatohiko, was sniped to death on Mount Baizo outside Suzhou, and Matsui Iwane was not in good health, the commander of the Third Division, Susumu Fujita, was appointed  As chief of staff of the dispatched army, he assisted Iwane Matsui in handling military affairs.

    "The Bengbu offensive and defensive battle is considered a complete failure. Order the troops to withdraw. In addition, let Major General Yamaguchi of the 103rd Brigade temporarily command the frontline troops and wait for the results!" Matsui Iwane said in a deep voice.

    "With the current situation, this is the only way it can be!" Fujita said.

    "How is the investigation of Li Guoyao and the Independence Brigade going?"

    Fujita Susumu said immediately: "Due to limited intelligence, we only foundNot long ago, the Chinese government upgraded this unit from the two-regiment B brigade to the three-regiment A brigade. According to the Chinese establishment, the authorized strength of the A brigade is more than 6,500. However,  Many troops in this brigade have the habit of eating empty pay. It is not certain how many actual troops there will be. The staff department comprehensively estimates that the brigade has a maximum of 5,000 troops!  "

    "Baga, five thousand people can wipe out more than three thousand imperial troops in Nanqiao and Chuxian counties in half a day, and also take away the 13th Division headquarters?" Matsui Iwane roared angrily.

    As a commander with rich combat experience, Matsui Iwane has a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. He will never believe that five thousand Chinese troops can achieve such a record.

    "Your Excellency, whether the Independent Brigade has 5,000 people or not has nothing to do with whether they can annihilate the Ogisu Division!" Fujita said.

    "Nani, what do you mean by this?" Matsui Iwane asked with a frown.

    "Your Excellency, although the news we have now is that it was Li Guoyao's independent brigade that attacked Chu County, it does not mean that only one unit of the independent brigade participated in this operation. In fact, judging from the information we have now, it should be transporting supplies.  The transport team was ambushed first, and then the troops from Nanqiao and Chuxian went to the rescue, and then they were ambushed at the same time."

    Then Susumu Fujita continued: "Based on our understanding of this/that army, if we want to fight in five places at the same time, it can't be done without 20,000 people. Even if Li Guoyao's troops are not paid, there are not so many people."  , so I can guarantee that there must be other troops participating in this battle!"

    Matsui Iwane nodded and said: "Hey, Fujita-san is right. After all, the third theater headquarters is located in Hefei, which is not far from the battlefield!"

    "So compared to a small independent brigade, the third theater is our most serious concern!" Fujita Jundao.

    "You Xi, originally according to the plan of the base camp, the imperial army was to cooperate with the North China Front Army to join forces in Xuzhou and open up the Jinpu Line. But now it seems that if we want to take Bengbu, we must first deal with the enemies behind us!"

    "Your Excellency, Commander, is right. If we don't get rid of those little miscellaneous fish in the third theater, the Imperial Army will not be able to move north with all its strength."

    "Youxi, two negligences have caused the imperial army to lose more than 7,000 people. It is simply unforgivable!"

    "Your Excellency, Commander, the Chinese troops in Quanjiao and Hefei must be dealt with as soon as possible!"

    "Yo Xi, but before that, we must investigate the life and death of Lieutenant General Ogisu. And if you want to see the person alive, you want to see the body if you die!"

    "Hai, I will ask T&T High-Tech to investigate this matter, and I will give you a reply tomorrow at the latest!"

    "please!"

    Susumu Fujita nodded and exited Matsui Iwane's office. He wanted to convey orders to Matsui Iwane.

    Looking at Susumu Fujita¡¯s leaving figure, Matsui Iwane sighed deeply.

    He was worried about his future. Nagata Tetsuyama, the former soul of the ruling faction and the military chief known as Japan's number one brain, was assassinated. Matsui was suspected of this and was forced to resign, withdraw from the military and become a reserve.

    ??And during the Songhu Battle, he was specially recruited by the Emperor and appointed as the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, and later as the commander of the Central China Front. This was definitely an opportunity for Matsui Iwane to return to the military and then take control of the military.

    ¡°He also did very well before. Not only did he successfully capture Shanghai and Nanjing, but he also defeated hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in a short period of time, demonstrating very strong command capabilities.

    However, there were many mistakes during this period. First, many troops were lost in Jiaxing, and then there were heavy losses in Nanjing City. In addition, more than 7,000 people were annihilated by Li Guoyao twice in succession. This made Matsui Iwane feel tremendous pressure.  .

    ¡° He felt that if he could not give an explanation to the base camp as soon as possible, his position as the commander of the front army might be over. Once he was transferred back to the country, he would never have a chance to come back.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
