- Chapter 239 The End (3)
"idiot!"
¡°Asshole! Bang bang¡±
Two clear slaps sounded from the Japanese military camp in North China in Tianjin. Yasuo Oshima looked at the squadron leader in front of him angrily: "Have you exhausted all your strength on a woman's belly? After a simple dispatch until now Not ready yet? Is this how you treat His Majesty the Emperor¡¯s trust?!¡±
"Please rest assured, Colonel, the troops will be ready to leave immediately." The beaten squadron leader lowered his head and did not dare to look at Oshima Yasuo's angry eyes. He only said: "But the navy's transport ship has not arrived yet."
"Forget those damn boatmen (the Japanese Army's contemptuous name for the Navy)! Without them, our Army wouldn't have to fight? Set off immediately. It's only more than a hundred kilometers around the strait. I trust my feet even more!"
"Hi!"
Looking at the squadron leader leaving in a hurry, Oshima Yasuo, a veteran who participated in the Russo-Japanese War, was very disappointed: "These boy scouts have completely forgotten the spirit of the Imperial Army in defeating Lucia with their feet and cannons in the ice and snow. What a damn mission!¡±
The squadron leader who was slapped also vented his anger on the infantry outside. Amid the roar, the Oshima Brigade of the Japanese Garrison in North China cheered up and started on the road with the help of more than a hundred pack horses.
In the undefended city of Tianjin, any military movement cannot be hidden from the eyes of other forces. The sudden movement of the Japanese army has attracted attention from all aspects. Everyone wants to know where they are going?
At the same time that the Japanese troops stationed in China were dispatched, more than 3,000 National Defense Force cavalry roared past Jinan City in the east. An Guoliang on horseback finally experienced the feeling of being in no one's land. News that the Henan Bridge was blocked spread After leaving, Li Chun and Cao Kun on the southern line immediately retreated back to Shandong along the Jinpu Line. Although Cao Kun's troops were in Jinan City not far away, who dared to block their way now?
After reuniting with Anguoliang in Zhengzhou, the scattered and harassing cavalry regiments reunited again. Due to the recruitment of a large number of young people in Henan, the team has grown to more than 3,000. However, since the general staff and commander have not yet formally issued an order to recruit, the temporary designation Or the ** Cavalry Regiment. Although the brigade was not changed, there were many tasks. The supply team brought a large amount of ammunition and also brought an order from the General Staff, asking them to immediately approach Shandong Dongying (Yingkou).
Mei Sheng rushed to catch up with An Guoliang. He glanced at the skull and crossbones medal and the second-level Medal of Honor on his chest and said with eyes, "These two things look great together."
An Guoliang didn't know what this kid was thinking, so he smiled and said, "You can take it with you after you fight a few more miserable battles."
Mei Sheng scratched his head and asked: "Captain, you haven't said what the mission is this time? Are you going to stop fighting in Jinan City?"
"You bastard, do you think Jinan is so easy to fight? Idiot Cao San has a whole division over there. Li Chun's fourth division has also retreated to Jining. We can't deal with two infantry divisions attacking from the front and back." An Guoliang was angry. He glared: "I'll let you know when the mission arrives. Maybe there will be a fierce battle!"
A fierce battle? ! Mei Sheng's eyes lit up. He was looking forward to these two words now, but it was wrong to think about it. Beiyang only had one breath left. Cao Kun and Li Chun were so close that they didn't dare to intercept the cavalry regiment. Beijing and Zhili didn't have many decent troops except the Beiyang 1st Division. Who else could they fight with? But looking at An Guoliang's look, he knew he couldn't figure it out, so he simply raised his whip and accelerated his company to catch up with the main force.
Looking at the excited backs of the young men, An Guoliang did not dare to be careless. If they were to fight for real this time it would not be a good sign for the cavalry regiment, which lacked heavy firepower.
One goes south, the other goes north. When the two arrows were getting closer and closer, the Japanese Army Department in Tokyo was already noisy and noisy. People were walking in a hurry, and they even walked to Uehara Yusaku's office with a bit of smugness on their faces.
The war that took place in the hinterland of China was so unexpected. Under the attack from the south, the Beiyang Army finally revealed its true face of being strong on the outside and incompetent on the inside. It collapsed much faster than Japan had expected! For Japan, a unified China is unacceptable, so before the southern army reaches Shandong and Hebei, it must respond as soon as possible to seize some key positions, such as the mouth of the Yellow River!
Seizing Dongying and controlling the mouth of the Yellow River can completely curb the southern army's northward advance. Even if they unify China, Japan will be able to use the Yellow River to quickly deliver troops to Shandong and Henan and other places in the interior to ensure that the empire's interests in China are not protected. damage.
Now that the troops stationed in China have set off, what needs to be done is to persuade Yusaku Uehara, the actual head of the army, and contact the navy to send several cruisers to support him. Thinking of this, he organized his thoughts and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
As soon as Tanaka Yi opened the door and walked in, he immediately bent down and saluted. This action made Yusaku Uehara frown: "Tanaka-kun, this is the military headquarters. Don't use civilian etiquette."
"Yes!" Tanaka Giichi saluted again, and then put the document on the table: "Mr. Lu, Colonel Oshima Yasuo has already set off. He expects the troops to arrive at Yingkou tomorrow morning, but I think only one brigade can There may be resistance from the squadron, so I hope to contact the navy"
"Tanaka-kun, I am no longer Prime Minister." Before he finished speaking, Yusaku Uehara corrected the mistake in his words. He didn't like the director of the Military Affairs Bureau who never liked reading very much, but he had to admit that, He was filled with the enthusiasm of the Imperial Japanese Army. He proposed the Army's 25-division system in peacetime and 50-division system in wartime, which was very popular with the Ministry of War. He participated in the revision of the "Force Internal Affairs Book" and "Japanese Army Code of Conduct", etc. etc. are very good, and this time he was the first to bring up the importance of Dongying, believing that it should be occupied immediately to ensure the empire's interests in Shandong and North China. However, when he asked the navy to cooperate, Uehara Yusaku did not take it seriously. Facing the humble Tanaka who stood in front of him, Giichi, without looking through the documents, crossed his arms and said, "Navy? Forget those cowards! Go tell Oshima-kun that our army cannot rely on the navy for everything. The army must rely on itself!"
"But Dongying is different. It is the mouth of the Yellow River. If there is no naval support"
Before Tanaka Yiichi finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Yusaku Uehara: "Tanaka-kun, I said it! You can't rely on the navy for everything! I know the importance of Dongying very well, but do you think the incompetent Navy Ministry will be willing to do so?" Are you going to start a war? They only care about military spending. Damn it If we could get that much military spending, we would have occupied the entire Manchuria and Mongolia regions and even Shandong!"
Yusaku Uehara made no secret of his anger at the Navy for gobbling up military spending. His act of resigning as Prime Minister and deliberately not arranging a successor led to the collapse of the Saionji Konobo Cabinet. He was also dissatisfied with the insufficient funding of the Army, and now he is asked to contact the Navy to send troops together. Isn't this too embarrassing! What's more, this operation was entirely carried out by the Ministry of War. If we ask for naval support, it will definitely alarm Congress, and those cowards of the Constitutional Council will definitely use this to cause trouble, so it is better to seize it and say: "China's Beiyang Army has no more fighting** , any Chinese corps will be vulnerable to the attack of an elite brigade of Yasuo Oshima. Facing such an opponent, we still need the help of the navy? That is a shame! Go tell him that his mission is to occupy Dongying! That's where the Yellow River enters Haikou is related to the empire¡¯s interests in Shandong and North China, and as for the navy I don¡¯t trust them.¡±
Although Tanaka Yiichi was full of different opinions, facing the rude Yusaku Uehara, he could only nod helplessly and quickly left the office.
Although he has driven away Tanaka Yiichi, Uehara Yusaku is not a fool. If a war really breaks out in Dongying near the sea, he may really need naval support. Of course, he will never ask the Navy. In his opinion, as long as Oshima Yasuo can occupy Dongying, the Army can show its value and apply for more military expenditures, and the Navy If Yamamoto Gonbei ignores If the Army sacrificed its life for the country, then it¡¯s time to step down!
What a great plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Looking at the beautiful army flag on the wall, he couldn't help but smile when he thought about the proud moment. However, there was someone inside that he couldn't get around, so after thinking about it, he immediately picked up the phone: "Prepare the car, I need to go see him immediately." A veteran of Shan County.¡±
After the cabinet of Saionji Konobo collapsed and the Seiyokai launched a constitutional movement in an attempt to gradually reduce the influence of the Elder Council on Japan, Yamagata Aritomo returned to his residence in Tokyo.
In the exquisite small garden of the annex, he walked side by side with Katsura Taro. The latter briefly served as Prime Minister after the fall of Saionji Temple, but had to resign due to the opposition of the Constitutional Council and gave way to Navy Admiral Yamamoto Gonbei. Yamagata Aritomo is a little disappointed that he has not been able to secure the position of prime minister, especially because Yamamoto Gonbei's recent remarks clearly want to suppress the army, so he is looking for an opportunity to replace him, and now it seems that the opportunity has come.
He asked: "I heard that Yusaku Uehara has ordered the occupation of Dongying?"
As the most powerful veteran in Japan, the private actions of the Ministry of War cannot be hidden from him, so Katsura Taro immediately nodded and said: "Yes, the one mobilized is Oshima Yasuo's brigade of the garrison stationed in China, with a total of 1,173 people and 6 troops. ¡.¡±
"I don't need to listen to the report." Shanxian Youpeng raised his hand to interrupt him and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
Katsura thought about it and said: "From the timing point of view, this is indeed a very good plan. The failure of China's Beiyang Army is only a matter of time. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the southern army has not yet reached the Jiaozhou Peninsula, blocking the Yellow River first will help our country to ensure its success in China." Benefit."
Yamagata Youto nodded and narrowed his eyes: "I heard that this plan was proposed by Tanaka Yiichi? Well, he is a good officer."
 Katsura Taro raised his eyebrows. It was good to be praised by friends from Shan County. It was only a matter of time before this person would become famous. However, he also admitted that the timing was very good, but one thing made him uneasy: "I also think the plan is very good. Because our British allies were preparing for a showdown in the south and asked us to cooperate in safeguarding the interests of various countries in China. If they could achieve de facto occupation first, they could take this opportunity to gain a foothold on the Jiaodong Peninsula. But Yusaku Uehara revised the plan and abandoned the navy. I'm worried that if we encounter the Chinese Communist Partythe people from the Constitutional Council will stand up and cause trouble."
His worries made Yamagata Aritomo smile, his cloudy old eyes sparkling sharply: "A unified China is not in the interests of the empire. Unfortunately, we are still in the cultivation period. But Katsura Taro-kun, don't you think Liu Will a sprinkling of blood make those constitutionalists more awake? As long as the people understand that the cabinet's inaction has led to insufficient army strength and the inability to ensure the empire's interests in the Far East, what consequences do you think it will have?"
Katsura Taro felt anxious. Compared with the experienced Shanxian Youpeng, he found that he still had many shortcomings.
Obviously, this action has his tacit approval, because if Oshima Yasuo returns good news, it will make the people understand that the army is the most important force of the empire. If it fails then all responsibilities will be passed on to The Navy¡¯s inaction! When Yamamoto Gonbei steps down, the Army can regain power. At that time, it will be able to increase the strength of several divisions. Perhaps he has already been thinking about the real opportunity to teach the Chinese a lesson!
Katsura Taro discovered that no matter whether the Chinese team resisted or not, it seemed that the old man was the winner.
Will they resist?.
