    Chapter 206: Tanaka Shizuichi (please vote for me!)

    Just as the Seventh Division was actively preparing for battle, the Japanese 13th Division in Chu County ushered in a new division commander.

    In the small conference room of the Chu County Japanese Army Command Headquarters, all brigade commanders and regimental commander-level officers affiliated with the 13th Division were present. Everyone was sitting upright, like javelins.

    "Tap tap tap"

    With the sound of heavy footsteps, under the protection of several guards, three generals strode in from outside. The leader was an army lieutenant general, followed by two major generals.

    After the three people came to the main seat and sat down, all the officers in the conference room immediately stood up, lowered their heads, raised their chests and stood with their feet side by side to show respect.

    "Sit down!" the leading Army Lieutenant General said in a deep voice.

    After everyone sat down, the leading lieutenant general said immediately: "Before the meeting, I would like to briefly introduce myself. I, Tanaka Shizuichi, the former commander of the Imperial Military Police, received an order from the base camp a week ago to replace Ogisu Tachibana.  Your Excellency Bing was promoted to commander of the 13th Division."

    Having said this, Tanaka Shizuichi glanced around everyone's faces, and then continued: "His Royal Highness Prince Hanyuan Palace before coming to the base camp met me in person. His Highness said that this battle, His Excellency Ogisu Rihei Yusui, the first  The heavy damage suffered by the 13th Division is the biggest humiliation since the formation of the Japanese Imperial Army. It is even more difficult for the base camp to accept than the interception and killing of King Asaka Palace Hatohiko on Mount Shirozu. Do you know why this is?"

    Seeing that no one spoke, Tanaka Jingyi said in a deep voice: "Although King Jiuyan is a royal general with a noble status, his being sniped to death does not represent the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. It is only a small probability event. But this time  The 13th Division was captured/the army captured the headquarters, not to mention thousands of casualties. The division commander was also beaten to death. More importantly, the body was not even recovered. This will inevitably make the outside world have doubts about the Emperor of Japan.  The combat effectiveness of the army is seriously doubted, so His Royal Highness the Prince requires that after I take office, this matter must be resolved to avenge the imperial army!"

    "Hai!"

    A group of Japanese generals immediately responded loudly, with a hint of indignation and aggrievedness in their loud voices!

    When talking about the defeat of the past few days, all the senior officers of the 13th Division had only two emotions, one was anger, the other was aggrieved.

    "If it's because their fighting ability is inferior to others, they will be defeated if they lose. It's not like they have never been defeated before.  After all, the 13th Division is not a strong force in the traditional sense. This unit had its designation revoked for a long time. If it were not for the shortage of frontline troops after the China Incident, they may not have restored their establishment.

    Because of this, the actual combat effectiveness of the 13th Division is a whole step behind that of the 5th and 6th Divisions. It was defeated by the Chinese army on the Songhu battlefield. Therefore, in a sense, this unit  The ability to take a hit is still very strong.

    However, according to the post-war investigation, the Chinese army was no match for the Imperial Army in terms of strength or firepower. The reason why it was able to achieve such a record was entirely because the opponent's commander planned so well that every step was counted towards the Imperial Army.  Army front.

    If we were to have a face-to-face battle with the Imperial Japanese Army based on our ability, instead of using the entire 13th Division, I am afraid that any brigade could defeat Li Guoyao's troops, but it was this unit that suffered heavy losses many times.  Imperial Army, how can they treat this calmly!

    "I can see that everyone is very angry, which is good. There is an old saying in China that is very good - know shame and then be brave! It means that knowing shame is close to being brave. If you don't even know shame, then this person will  The troops are hopeless!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Major General Shigetori Numata, commander of the 26th Brigade, immediately stood up and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Ogisu Rihei-dono is a disgrace to our entire 13th Division. Only with that branch/that army commander's  Only the head can wash away the shame of the imperial army!"

    "Hey, it's great that Numata-kun has such courage!"

    But when the words changed, Tanaka Shizuichi said again: "But courage alone is not enough. A Chinese military strategist more than two thousand years ago once said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger. In other words, you must be fully prepared when fighting your opponent.  Only by understanding your opponent can you win, so now I ask you, who of you has ever understood our opponent?"

    The Japanese generals in the conference room all looked at each other in confusion. To be honest, what they knew about Li Guoyao was just the vague name in the battle report issued by the front army, and that was it.

    As for what Li Guoyao looks like, whether he is tall, short, fat or thin, or whether he has pockmarks, it is not clear at all, let alone his abilities and preferences.

    "Baga, is this your professional standard? I really think that, that militaryIs it because of the mud? You didn¡¯t even understand the basic situation of your opponent before trying to deal with them. I think you lost this battle unjustly!  "Jingyi Tanaka scolded loudly.

    Everyone in the conference room lowered their heads. Although some people were still unconvinced, they were very wise not to argue with the division commander at this time, otherwise they would be easily targeted.

    Tanaka Shizuichi did not struggle with this issue, but clapped his hands and said, "Sato-kun, come in!"

    With the voice of Tanaka Shizuichi, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and then an officer wearing a military uniform strode in, and then sat down in the empty seat opposite Tanaka Shizuichi.

    After this person sat down, Tanaka Shizuichi said immediately: "Let me introduce to you, this is Sato Hiromitsu, the section chief of the Intelligence Section 2 of the Imperial High-tech Central China Front Army, and he also serves as the military police commander of the Central China Front Army.  Commander Cimatsui sent Mr. Sato here to assist us in our operations and provide us with intelligence support. Everyone is welcome!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room burst into warm applause!

    Although Sato Hiromitsu is just an army colonel, he is the colonel of the intelligence agency and also controls the military police. This power and position is different. Even generals like Numata Shigetori and Yamaguchi Oiji have to give him a lot of help.  Save face.

    Sato Hiromitsu stood up immediately and said: "This is our first meeting, please take care of me!"

    "Sato-kun, I need detailed information about Li Guoyao. I wonder when I can get it?" Tanaka Jingyi went straight to the point and asked straight to the point.

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have brought all the information you need, please take a look!"

    While speaking, Sato Hiromitsu took out a document from his briefcase and handed it directly to Tanaka Shizuichi.

    Tian Zhongjing was delighted at first sight, took it immediately, and started reading it immediately.

    As a veteran with rich combat experience, Tanaka Shizuichi naturally understands the importance of intelligence to the war. It can be said that whether the intelligence is accurate is related to the outcome of the war. That is why he attaches so much importance to what Sato handed over.

    There is not a lot of information, only two or three pages. Obviously, the Japanese army¡¯s understanding of Li Guoyao is still very limited.

    Soon Tanaka Shizuichi finished reading it, and then said: "Is this information accurate? Is that Li Guoyao really from the Northeast Army, and is he really only 22 years old this year?"

    Sato Hiromitsu replied: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, this information was stolen by our senior agents lurking within the Kuomintang government. It is a file stored within the Military and Political Department of the Kuomintang government. In order to steal this file, we  Three senior spies were sacrificed, and several peripheral organizations were destroyed by the military command bureaus in that area. After that, we conducted multiple investigations and finally confirmed that the contents of this material are true."

    "If this is the case, then this Li Guoyao is really a war genius. He was born in a local warlord army at a young age, but he was able to grow step by step from a small staff major to a division commander in such a short period of time.  , It seems that the reputation is not in vain!" Tian Zhongjing said.

    However, as soon as he finished speaking, Major General Shigetori Numata said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, the division commander, is overly worried. You should also know that the divisions of the Zhi-Na government and the divisions of the Imperial Japanese Army are completely different concepts, especially  Their miscellaneous divisions often only have four to five thousand men, and a little more than six or seven thousand men, which is only equivalent to our brigade, and their combat effectiveness is only equivalent to that of an infantry regiment."

    Then Shigetori Numata continued: "Although there are not many captains in the imperial army who are in their twenties, it is not impossible. That guy does not deserve such praise from the division commander!"
