992, you are always present at every major event, and you still say that you are not too suspicious?(1/2)
Beiping, late at night.
A military train from the northeast slowly docked on the platform.
At this moment, the platform was filled with murderous atmosphere. Japanese guards were everywhere. The real three steps and one whistle was veritable.
The army carries a large number of Kanto soldiers, affiliated to the most elite 6th Division.
However, after the army arrived at the station, no Kwantung soldiers got off the car. They continued to go to Shimen.
Only in the inconspicuous corner did someone quietly get off the train.
The Japanese North China Front Chief of Staff Yoshio Iwamatsu personally went to the station to pick up people.
The identity level of the visitor is not high.
Just a major general.
But his name is Ishihara Kanir.
This name still has many supporters within the Japanese army. Even Yoshio Iwamatsu is one.
Yoshio Iwamatsu admired Ishihara Kanir's strategic vision very much. Unfortunately, Ishihara Kanir's mouth is too smelly and often offends people. Especially if he offended Tojo Hideki, this is a bit troublesome.
The current Tojo High School Private is not a good person. He has already grasped considerable power and can almost be said to be the number one person in the army.
Therefore, Okamura Yasuji could only secretly invite Ishihara Kanji to Peking, but it was late at night to avoid irritating Tojo Hideki.
"Hisense Ishihara." Yoshio Iwamatsu took the initiative to say hello, "Thank you hard on the road."
"You should call Yamamoto Ichiki." Ishihara Kanir came up and mentioned the serious matter, "This matter must be left to him."
"Colonel Yamamoto has received the order. However, it is not possible to set out to Peking at present. The plane is temporarily banned and the railway line has also been interrupted." Yoshio Iwamatsu explained, "However, Commander Yoshio Shinozuka and Colonel Yamamoto have all expressed that they will execute the superior orders without fail."
"I have already told you on the phone. Someone must be sent to stare at that Yang Yue. As long as he is destroyed, the Tu Eighth Route Army will suffer a major blow."
"We need to listen to your description in person."
"All right……"
Ishihara Kaner got into the car.
It seems a bit reluctant on the surface, but in fact it is very happy on the inside.
After all, he has been suppressed by Tojo Hideki for too long. He is about to gradually become marginalized, how can he bear it?
In the Kanto Army, he could not even command a guard. They were all those sent by Hideki Tojo to monitor him. If Mijiro Umezu took over the Kanto Army, he would probably have mysteriously "missed".
No one can be seen in life, no corpse can be seen in death.
It has always been one of the solutions for Hideki Tojo to solve his opponents.
Hideki Tojo has always felt that instead of paying a significant price to solve the problem, it is better to directly solve the person who raised the problem.
What?
Are there any logistics problems in Myanmar?
Japanese front-line commander Yoshiro Iida was unwilling to attack India? It was said that the logistics supply was added and he might be defeated?
OK, then I will use Mutaguchi Ren to replace you. You can go home to take care of your old age.
Mutaguchi Ryo thinks there is no problem with the logistics.
Look, will the logistics problem be solved?
Of course, this happened two years later...
The car secretly entered the Peking Garrison Command. Okamura Yanji simply welcomed Ishihara Kanir here.
Of course, given the omnipresent monitoring of Tojo Hideki, Okamura's welcome specifications are definitely not high. That is, just say hello and then discuss important matters in the war room.
Inviting Ishihara Kaner to come is actually one purpose: to ask for advice.
Why did the Tujiao Route Army in North China suddenly have a huge momentum and its combat effectiveness soar?
The current situation in North China is like a mess. Okamura Yasuji hopes to find the thread inside. Only by finding the thread can the thread be solved.
"I believe it's this person named Yang Yue."
"He is on the scene every time there is a big war or a particularly serious incident. This is the biggest evidence."
"I collected all the battlefield reports and sent people to the front line to investigate. I always believed that Yang Yue must be eliminated or captured alive. Otherwise, there would be no other matter."
"My suggestion is to use Colonel Yamamoto Ichiki as the frontline commander to mobilize the most elite troops and chase Yang Yue at all costs."
"Note that the most elite troops I mentioned should not be too many, and should not exceed one brigade."
"Their mission is to bite Yang Yue tightly. They will follow wherever Yang Yue goes. Until the task is completed."
Ishihara Kanir threw out his thoughts in one breath.
This is a very pleasant feeling.
Finally there is a chance to speak.
Moreover, there were two lieutenant generals who listened to him.
Moreover, there are two lieutenant generals who hold heavy troops. One of them may be promoted to a general.
This is a new thigh, Ishihara Kanir hopes to hug her.
Seishiro Itagaki is obviously not a match for Hideki Tojo, and has been gradually marginalized.
The next step for Hideki Tojo is the Minister of the Army. At that time, his power will be even more terrifying. His situation in Ishihara Kanji will be even worse.
Killed?
Being imprisoned?
Being mysteriously disappeared?
It's entirely possible.
How did Tojo Razor's nickname come from?
That is to say, he is very good at hitting his opponents, and he is often the one who puts it to death.
A high-ranking general led by a commander, suddenly dismissed in the name of the Emperor, and then transferred to the reserve service. From then on, there was no chance to command the troops. That was a punishment that was even more severe than killing people.
Hideki Tojo has no way to completely dismiss Itagaki Seishiro for the time being, but he can vent his anger on him.
At present, only Okamura Yasuji can give Ishihara Kanji stage again.
"People Ishihara, why do you think it is Yang Yue?" asked Yoshio Iwamatsu.
"I said that he was there for all the major events." Ishihara Kanji said confidently, "This is the most obvious evidence."
"What you are talking about is..."
"Cangyunling, Qincheng, Longwan, Luyang, Pinghan Line, Zhengtai Line..."
"Swisha..."
Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded silently.
Indeed, Okamura Yasuji had already discovered this.
Whenever there is a big event, Yang Yue is present. Do you think he is very suspicious? He is simply a super mess!
"So, where is he now?" asked Yoshio Iwamatsu.
Actually, I want to take the test of Ishihara Kanir.
You are so good at talking big, but you have to show some real stuff.
If you are invited, it is not something that makes you touch your mouth. You have to use your brain.
"Give your latest battle report."
"good!"
Yoshio Iwamatsu asked the staff to send the battle report.
Ishihara Kanir simply read all the battle reports, and then threw them all over the table.
Very rude.
Very uncivilized.
Silently expressed dissatisfaction.
Yoshio Iwamatsu's eyes sank.
No wonder Hide Tojo hates Ishihara Kanir so much. This guy is really lawless!
The same is true in front of Okamura Yasuji. Do you really don’t give me any face? It’s so unique.
But the result of being too individual is often a tragedy.
"He is near Jiaozuo." Ishihara smiled.
"What's your basis?" asked Yoshio Iwamatsu.
"Because the Yoshino United reported heavy casualties in the army, but the enemy's troops were not mentioned. I estimate that the enemy's troops were very small. This is the biggest feature of Yang Yue's operation."
To be continued...
