    Before Wu Qi, the national commander, waved his fist and finished speaking, Tatsujiro Uchino, the commander of the 14th Infantry Brigade beside him, stood up and said, "Major General national commander, the Ukrainian campaign plan was formulated by the coalition command, and the Central Army took the lead in launching the attack early in the morning.  It¡¯s settled, at this time, it¡¯s too much to say that the Western Route Army attacked first!¡±

    "You! What are you talking about? Soldiers and forces are unpredictable. Mr. Uchino, don't you look at how far our Western Route Army has to go to reach the gates of Kiev. Their Central Route Army only has to walk 60 kilometers along the railway to surround Kharkov.  Kilometers, it won't even take a day. We don't fire a single shot from here, and it will take more than 350 kilometers to get to Kiev. If we follow the original plan and are two days behind the Central Route Army, how many hours will it cost us to drive these 350 kilometers?  Days? At least a week!¡±

    Kunisi Gochichi is two years younger than the 50-year-old Uchino Tatsujiro. As a junior, he is not expected to be too presumptuous. However, Kunisi Gochichi graduated from the 15th class of Mainland University and was an honors student in the saber team. However, this guy Uchino is  The conservative style of Tatsujiro Uchino, who graduated from the 16th class of Riku University and is a junior student of Riku University, obviously does not get the approval of Major General Kuniji, his senior who is 2 years younger!

    ?? This Uchino Tatsujiro was born in Fukuoka Prefecture in 1868. He will turn 50 in two months. He is considered a fairly well-behaved leader among Japanese brigade leaders, or you can say that he is more rigorous and disciplined.

    Uchino was the second son of the Toan family of physician Uchino in Fukuoka Prefecture. He graduated from the Army Infantry School and graduated from the first class of the Army Sergeant School in July 1890 (Meiji 23).  In March of the following year, he was awarded the title of second lieutenant of infantry and served as commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment.  Participated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 and served as the commander of the Imperial Army's apprentice team and the instructor of the Army's Toyama School. In November 1902 (Meiji 35), he graduated from the 16th class of the Mainland University.

    In January 1918 (Taisho 7), Uchino Tatsujiro was transferred to the position of commander of the 14th Infantry Brigade of the 7th Division. The purpose was of course to go to the front line and make meritorious service to pave the way for promotion to the division commander. Although Kunsi Wuchi was older than  Uchino Tatsujiro is young. He graduated from the mainland university one class higher than Uchino and is considered a senior.

    But in terms of the promotion path, Uchino Tatsujiro took it step by step. He was promoted to major general and served as brigade commander more than 2 years earlier than Kunji Goshichi, so the relationship between the two brigade commanders is very delicate.

    As far as Uchino Tatsujiro is concerned, he believes that in terms of age, qualifications and abilities, he is much stronger than Kunsi Wu Qi, who has just been promoted from the position of commander of the regiment to the commander of the major general brigade. If he chooses a reserve from the commander of the seventh division brigade,  The candidate for the division leader was none other than himself, so he became increasingly cautious and calm. Seeking stability in everything beforehand, and following his superiors¡¯ intentions and implementing them thoroughly was the first principle. Therefore, this guy¡¯s advice to the young and energetic National Secretary Wu Qi was  Be the first to speak out against it.

    "Major General of the State Council, you are right. There is also a railway line from Glukhov to Kiev. Of course, if we attack from Rylisk, we can only take the road before taking Glukhov, but this section of the road  It¡¯s not long, only 70 kilometers. We can reach Glukhov in one day! If we set off early and gather near the border, we only need to drive 20 kilometers to reach the gate of Glukhov after the battle starts!  It¡¯s 300 kilometers away and can be reached in half a day by train!¡±

    Not to be outdone, Uchino Tatsujiro retorted, and the National Secretary Wu Qi here sneered, "Major General Uchino, do you think that the Germans and Ukrainians will open their doors to welcome us all the way to Kiev? The kind of people who carry guns and sing songs on the train  The idea that we can complete the mission of the Western Route Army in the Ukraine Campaign is simply ridiculous!¡±

    "Okay! Pay attention to your sense of proportion. You are already a big boss. Mr. Uchino and the commander of the Kokuji Brigade, please sit down and listen to Chief of Staff Ishihara about the next battle plan of the West Route Army!" said the former enemy commander-in-chief of the West Route Army of the Allied Southwest Front,  Fujii Yukitsuchi, commander of the Japanese 7th Division, calmly stopped the dispute between the two brigade commanders.

    As far as the division commander Fujii Yukitsuchi is concerned, he is only 54 years old this year, and he is still in his prime among Japanese division commanders. Participating in the Eastern Front of the Allied Powers is a great opportunity for the Japanese army, especially the soldiers of the Third Army.  It was a great opportunity for the empire to open up territory and make achievements. In the Battle of Ufa, the limelight of the Allied forces was completely taken up by the Chinese armored units, aviation units and Russian cavalry units.

    Therefore, Fujii Kotsuchi, like Utsunomiya Taro, also cherished the opportunity of the Southwest Front Army to fight the Ukrainian campaign alone. Unlike Utsunomiya Taro, the commander of the Southwest Front Army, the Center Army regarded the capture of Kharkov as a huge task.  The glory and glory of the country, but Fujii knows very well that Kiev is the heart and soul of Ukraine, and Kharkiv is just a larger city close to the border. Although it is the capital, the importance of Zhenlu in Ukraine is unknown.  Not only is it ranked behind Kiev, it is also inferior to Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk.

    "Everyone, when we met at the coalition headquarters to discuss the Ukrainian campaign, we all thought that the task of the Eastern Route Army was the most complex and arduous. Now it seems that with the joining of the Don River and the North Caucasus Autonomous Republic to the Volga Federation, the Eastern Route Army has no southern troops.  There are no worries about the future, and the main force of the German troops stationed in Ukraine isThe center is on the Kharkov front line in Dnipropetrovsk, plus here in Kiev. Therefore, the most difficult and complicated task is not the Eastern Route Army, but our West Route Army!  "Chief of Staff Ishihara Kanji analyzed.

    The Chief of Staff of the Western Route Army, Colonel Ishihara Wanji, is the oldest colonel in the entire Japanese Third Army. Ishihara, who was born in 1889, is only 29 years old now. This guy was born in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, and his father Keisuke Ishihara  He once served as the chief of the Tsuruoka City Police Station. He taught Ishihara Kanji to be brave and not afraid of dangers with the spirit of "Bushido". The superior family environment (in rural Japan at the time, the chief of the police station was a local high-ranking official who received royal food) also made young Ishihara Wanji brave.  Ishihara has developed a style of not believing in evil, not fearing power, and being bossy.

    Ishihara Kanji believes in the "Nichiren Sect" and is a loyal believer in Tanaka Chihaku.  In September 1902, he entered the Sendai Japanese Army Regional Infant School. He has been a naughty boy with alternative ideas since he was a child. One of the homeworks at the Army Infant School is sketching. He is required to submit two sketches every week. The purpose is to lay a solid foundation for future combat drawings.  Most Japanese army generals are good at drawing pictures.

    But on this day, there was something wrong with the homework handed in by a third-grade student (equivalent to the current third grade of middle school). There was a male genitalia drawn on it, and there was a line of words on the side: "My baby, drawn in the toilet, October  One day".  When I looked at the signature, it was Ishihara Wanji!

    In September 1905, he transferred to the Japanese Army Central Infantry School in Tokyo. In June 1907, he was awarded the rank of sergeant candidate and joined the 32nd Regiment of the Japanese Army. In December 1907, he enrolled in the Japanese Army Noncommissioned Officer School. During the noncommissioned officer school, his relationship with the division commander  It was extremely bad. The result was that he was originally ranked 3rd, but was demoted to 6th. He graduated with 6th place in the 21st Infantry Course.
