Information about Saito Yataro immediately appeared in Cheng Qianfan's mind.
After successfully entering the special high school class, especially after acquiring Imamura Hitotaro as his teacher, Cheng Qianfan took various opportunities and ways to understand and master the information of Japanese generals in case of emergency.
It is also regrettable. The Japanese army is well aware of the situation of intermediate officers at the level of battalion commanders in our Chinese army, and even some local warlords and even local security regiments have special records.
However, we cannot grasp the basic situation of senior Japanese generals.
Yataro Saito graduated from the 19th infantry department of the Japanese Mainland University.
This person had served in the Army General Staff Headquarters for a long time, and was later transferred to serve as an instructor at the Army University.
In August of the 19th year of the Republic of China, Saito Yataro was promoted to the Imperial Army Dazuo and was transferred to the position of the head of the General Secretary of the Provincial Army Regulatory Bureau. The Regulatory Bureau was responsible for the mobilization of the army war, arms production, etc.
At this time, Ugaki was the Minister of the Army, and Sugiyama was the Second Army Officer.
After the "September 18 Incident", Yataro Saito went to the Japanese Kanto Army Command, and served as the head of the combat section of the Infantry Ozuo, planning and formulating a combat plan for invading Atakawa Province.
After the "Lugou Bridge Incident", Saito Yataro served as the commander of the Fourth Independent Guard in Mudanjiang.
Last year, Saito Yataro was officially promoted to Lieutenant General of the Japanese Army.
Last November, Saito Yataro replaced Yoon Dong-Jessie, who was injured on the battlefield, and became the commander of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army.
Yataro Saito led the 101st Division of the Japanese army to participate in the Japanese army's battle to attack Nanchang. During this period, he openly used mustard seed gas bombs and committed war crimes against humanity.
When Sakamoto Ryono mentioned Saito Yataro, Cheng Qianfan immediately showed an interesting expression. It was nothing more. Saito Yataro's Japanese 101st Division was really too topical.
"How is General Saito's body?" Cheng Qianfan asked in a low voice.
"Your Excellency General, you have a strong appetite, and a good appetite." said Ryono Sakamoto.
Cheng Qianfan's heart moved. He captured three details from Sakamoto Ryono's words:
First, Sakamoto Ryono had met Saito Yataro, and the time should be the most recent.
Second, Ryono Sakamoto and Yataro Saito were having a meal together.
Third, how could Sakamoto Ryono have the opportunity to have a meal with a Japanese lieutenant general like Saito Yataro?
The biggest possibility is that when Imamura Hitoshitaro was entertaining Saito Yataro, he brought Sakamoto Ryono, his nephew.
Cheng Qianfan's heart moved, and he immediately remembered the clues he found in Imamura Hitaro's study:
Map, paper in the garbage can.
He had a guess. Is it possible that these military-related writing and paintings were written by the two of them when they were secretly talking in the study after Imamura Hitoshi Yataro held a banquet for Yataro Saito?
"Rano, have you ever seen General Saito?" Cheng Qianfan asked Rano Sakamoto in surprise, and said, as he thought, his eyes lit up, "No, are you having a meal with General Saito?"
He patted Sakamoto Ryono on the shoulder, "I admire General Saito very much. If you have such an opportunity to visit, you have forgotten me."
Ryono Sakamoto was complained by his friend and quickly explained,
"It's not that I forgot Miyazaki," he said, "I happened to meet my uncle at his house in Uncle Imamura. He happened to meet him at General Saito, and Uncle Imamura asked me to accompany him."
This is the right one!
Cheng Qianfan shouted in his heart, just as he had guessed just now!
"Miyazaki, you don't know me. I don't like these social interactions the most." Sakamoto Ryono smiled bitterly.
Cheng Qianfan looked regretful and said, "It's better to leave it to me if you have this opportunity."
He looked around and lowered his voice, "The rumors are really abominable. I'll be relieved to hear you say that."
"Rumor?" Sakamoto Ryono was stunned at first, then thought for a moment, and he looked at it in a daze, laughing and crying, "Miyazaki, I was wondering why you suddenly asked about the physical condition of Your Excellency Saito..."
As he said that, he couldn't help laughing.
Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly and said, "You can't blame me for this. There are many rumors about this within the Army."
The rumors he mentioned were the discussions on the 101st Division, to be precise, there were rumors that there were unknown senior officers of the 101st Division within the Japanese Army.
Since September last year, the 101st Division has had a division commander and a corps captain who were injured and died on the Chinese battlefield.
A year ago today, Japanese military reporter Xiao Jue and his party went to the 101st Division of the Japanese Army for an interview.
Yoon Dong-Jessie arranged for the reporter to go to the 101st Infantry Regiment of Iizuka Kungoro for field interviews.
After interviewing Iitsuzu Kiyogoro, in order to pursue the real battlefield background, Koji and his party and Iitsuzu Kiyogoro came to the front of the position to take photos, but they were so proud that Iitsuzu Kiyogoro was killed by Chinese sentries.
Twenty days later.
After the Japanese 101st Division was blocked from attacking in De'an, the commander of the 11th Army, Okamura, transferred the 13th field heavy artillery revolver for the old senior. Under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese 101st Division launched another attack.
Due to the fierce battle for more than a month, with the help of the field heavy artillery wing, Yin Dong-Zexi, who was quite anxious, felt aroused and decided to visit the front line in person to facilitate the command of the field heavy artillery wing to correct the shelling parameters.
Just as he was observing a high ground, a mountain cannon shell that the Chinese army counterattacked exploded at the back slope of the hillside more than ten meters ahead of it. A piece of shrapnel that flew up hit Yin Dongzexi's head and penetrated his head from his right jaw.
Unfortunately, this shrapnel happened to pass through the blood vessels and nerves, so Yin Dong-Jessie did not die on the spot, but was sent to a field hospital for emergency treatment.
Yin Dong is one of the oldest and most senior division commanders of the Japanese divisions since the outbreak of the war of aggression against China. Only Niujima is one year older than him. Yin Dong's immediate superior Okamura is only a junior in front of him. Not only Lu Shi was two years younger, but Lu Da was three years younger than the first division, and Yin Dong was promoted to lieutenant general two years later.
Yin Dong-Jesxi was seriously injured, and the Japanese army had been hiding information.
It was not until the last day of October last year that the Japanese Daily News published a report sent by a war correspondent on the front line that it admitted and confirmed for the first time that the "strong military honor" Japanese lieutenant general was injured in the head while commanding the artillery.
Cheng Qianfan had read this issue of newspapers in Imamura Hitotaro's mansion.
Yoon Dong-Jessi returned to Japan for recovery due to serious injuries, while Saito Yataro was transferred to the commander of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army.
"General Saito made great achievements in the Nanchang Battle, which made the Chinese people cry in despair. It was exciting and happy whenever they thought of this scene." Cheng Qianfan lowered his voice and said with regretful expression, "Your Excellency General came and left in a hurry. There was no chance to visit this time. I don't know if there is another chance next time."
"It's my fault. Next time General Saito returns to Shanghai, I will definitely tell you the first time."
Seeing that his friend was quite regretful in his words, Ryono Sakamoto had to apologize again, "I didn't know before that you admire General Saito so much."
"I respect every imperial general who killed the Chinese people." Cheng Qianfan clinked glasses with Sakamoto Ryono and said.
As he said that, he glanced at the American man and was surprised to see that the man was still talking.
"Bilson was very angry because his homeland was annexed by Germany, but if this person hated Germany, he hated the French even more." said Ryono Sakamoto.
"The weak country is destined to be destroyed." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, and then he showed a sarcastic smile, "However, Bilson's words still make some sense."
"France wants allies willing to fight for France, rather than letting France fight for them." Bilson said indignantly, waving his right arm.
Because his emotions were too excited, his face turned red.
"The French enjoyed the greatest welfare of the winner of the European war, but were unwilling to make even a little effort to maintain the order of Europe."
Bilson ignored the angry eyes of the French VIPs who came to the salon and continued his speech. He criticized the French for setting a very bad precedent and ruining other European countries, which made the whole of Europe full of appeasement of Germany!
Some Japanese VIPs, including Cheng Qianfan (Kentaro Miyazaki), nodded secretly. This Bilson said something interesting, but this statement is quite insightful and reasonable.
"It is precisely because the French watched the Germans invade Inland, merged Austria, swallowed Sudeuts, and further involved in the entire Czech Republic. Other European countries also followed suit and did not care about their own affairs." Sakamoto Ryono said in a low voice.
"Mr. Sakamoto would be very pleased if he saw your changes now."
Cheng Qianfan looked at Ryono Sakamoto and said happily.
After working in the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai for more than three years, although Sakamoto Ryono's desire to become a family has not diminished in his heart, Sakamoto Ryono has made great progress in his work and has become a very outstanding young diplomatic talent.
"The British are the biggest accomplices behind the French." Bilson exclaimed indignantly.
After criticizing the French, he made an angry accusation against the British.
"The French are all focused on pleasing Britain. When facing Britain, they wag their tails, willing to listen to the British and give in to the Germans step by step."
Bilson said mockingly.
"I'm wrong, this guy is still scolding France."
Ryono Sakamoto said to Kentaro Miyazaki.
He just said to Miyazaki, 'This guy finally stopped criticizing France anymore. Seeing those French people, they couldn't help but go up and beat people up'.
Kentaro Miyazaki smiled and said, "It's impossible."
Now, Ryono Sakamoto admires his friends' accurate judgment.
Cheng Qianfan smiled and said nothing. He did not predict that Bilson would continue to use the British as an excuse to make more sarcastic moves in France. He just said 'Impossible', which means that although the French gentleman was angry, he would not go up to fight with Bilson, a slave who was defeated.
Nothing else, Bilson is tall and big, and he is very strong. It is said that this person was once an excellent boxer.
Of course, the real reason may be because Bilson was not empty talk, but constantly gave examples and criticized France with actual evidence, which made the French feel a little guilty when facing Bilson's sarcasm.
Since French Prime Minister Crimson gave up demanding France's sovereignty over the Inland in order to show goodwill to Britain, France has always made it a top priority to win over Britain.
The "Tiger Prime Minister" like Crimson had to flatter the UK, and the French government naturally followed suit.
However, under the tradition of "continental policy" that maintains the continental balance, France's frequent gestures of goodwill have instead put their faces on the cold butt, which has aroused the British's vigilance.
Under this situation, the French became even more uneasy, so they turned their heads and became more aggressive in trying to limit Germany.
Yes, in the early stage, the French frantically restricted Germany, and all aspects of the Germans were siege and intercepted them.
In the later period, when the French faced the Germans' aggressiveness, they gave in step by step.
In response to this, the most eye-catching orator of the Salon, Bilson, declared loudly: "The French are so stupid that they are unbearable... They are very afraid of being eaten by tigers, but they keep poking it."
...
Cheng Qianfan stared at Bilson with interest.
In this person, he seemed to see a shadow of someone.
Intuition tells him that this Czech American may not be as simple as it appears.
"Why, you're going to go up and beat this American?"
A voice rang behind Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan had long noticed Su Zhikang's approach. The more people there were, the more he was, he would be highly alert to anyone who tried to get close to him.
"Brother Zhikang." Cheng Qianfan turned around and 'seeing' it was Su Zhikang. He seemed quite happy, "When did you come back from Ningbo?"
Su Zhikang had something to do at home, so he went back to his hometown in Ningbo some time ago to handle affairs.
"I just came back for two days and was talking about finding time to invite you to sit at home." Su Zhikang's face was exhausted, and he thanked him, "I'll help me take care of my family."
During his departure from Shanghai, Su Zhikang entrusts Shanghai to Cheng Qianfan for care. This time, he will be able to repay the Internet when he returns to Shanghai.
"Brother Zhikang, you are kind." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "But I have long been envious of the bottles of good wine in Brother Zhikang's wine cabinet."
"Good wine is indispensable." Su Zhikang laughed loudly and said, looking at the person standing beside Cheng Qianfan with a gentle and humble smile on his face, "I won't introduce it to me, brother."
"Blame me." Cheng Qianfan quickly apologized and said with a smile, "Su Zhikang, my brother Zhikang, deputy general commander of the Mailan Capture House in the French Concession."
"It turns out to be Mr. Su." Ryoko Sakamoto said politely.
"Rano Sakamoto." Cheng Qianfan pointed to Rano Sakamoto, "Sakamoto is the first-class secretary of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai."
As he said that, he lowered his voice in Su Zhikang's ear, to be precise, in a voice that Sakamoto Ryono could vaguely hear, "Sakamoto Ryono is the youngest son of Mr. Nagayuki Sakamoto. He has outstanding literary achievements, and his future achievements will definitely not be inferior to Mr. Sakamoto."
"It turns out that he is Sakamoto's secretary, and he has long admired Daemon." Su Zhikang was very happy and shook hands with Sakamoto Ryono enthusiastically.
Cheng Qianfan watched this scene from the side, and his heart moved and smiled slightly.
