The third part of the bloody fire resistance Chapter 9 of the rushing flow section 1 of the bow (eleventh)

The cold current from the mainland reduced the temperature in Tokyo by several degrees, and the people on the streets wore thick winter clothes. The dark clouds were blown away by the Pacific wind and condensed over Tokyo. The Army Department building was still in a hurry, and laughter disappeared from the building at some point, and then it never came again, leaving only serious soldiers entering and leaving.

Several bicycles rushed over, and two young officers jumped out of the car. Before they even stopped the bicycle, they threw down their bicycles and rushed into a room on the first floor. In just a moment, a fierce and angry voice came from the room. Soon several officers rushed out and spread to all levels of the building. The news from the cabinet was like a stone turning the already stiff building into a pot of boiling water.

"You can't give up on China"

"This is betrayal of the frontline soldiers"

"We will never accept it"

"Kill them and kill these old and incompetent politicians"

.....

Soon nearly a hundred officers gathered in the lobby of the building. They were talking and extremely excited. The news from the joint meeting held at the cabinet base was really shocking.

The black Mitsubishi sedan stopped in front of the building, and Sugiyama's body emerged from the car. He looked tired and walked up the steps shakingly. No one ordered, and the officers in the hall surrounded him with a hurrah.

"Your Excellency, what's the situation? Has it been passed?"

"Your Excellency, have you passed?"

...

Sugiyama Moto stopped, raised his hand, and said with a smile: "Please rest assured that as long as I am still the Minister of the Army, Ishihara's plan will not be passed."

There was a burst of cheers around, and the officers respectfully saluted Sugiyama Moto. The Director of Personnel Tomonaga Kyoji separated everyone and walked to Sugiyama Moto: "Your Excellency, Ishihara cannot be allowed to serve as the Chief of Staff again, he should be driven off the stage."

Sugiyama Moto nodded gently, a hint of disgust slipped through his eyes. Tonaga Kyoji was Tojo's confidant, and he had a belt nicknamed Tojo. Sugiyama Moto remembered clearly how Tojo forced him to resign as Chief of Staff, but he was not long after he served as the Minister of the Army and had not had time to clean up Tojo's confidant.

"Of course, Ishihara's plan is something I can't accept." Sugiyama Moto smiled generously, as if he had won a victory. Kimura Hitotaro behind him gently slapped the corner of his mouth. Just now, Sugiyama Moto was speechless under Ishihara's aggressive analysis. He just insisted on stubbornly and could only threaten his resignation in the end.

Another car drove into the Army Ministry and stopped in front of the General Staff Headquarters building. Ishihara Kanir and Deputy Chief of Staff Masato Tanabe came out of the car. Ishihara Kanir looked grim, and Tanabe Masato Tanabe was expressionless.

As if someone issued an order, two teams of people emerged from the Army Education Building and the General Staff Headquarters Building at the same time. These young officers directly surrounded Ishihara Kanir.

"General Ishihara, we cannot withdraw our troops from China. That is what hundreds of thousands of soldiers have sacrificed, and we must not give up for it in vain."

"General, giving up on China is betrayal"

"If you don't pay compensation and don't recognize Manchuria, you will never withdraw your troops and will continue to fight resolutely."

A young officer rushed to Ishihara Kanir angrily: "Are you still worthy of being the chief of staff? Why don't you have a caesarean section for making such a plan?"

"Enough," Ishihara Kanir shouted violently, and he glanced at the officers surrounding him with a stern look. At this time, Sugiyama Moto came out of the Army Province with a group of officers. Ishihara Kanir did not seem to look at them at all. He scolded him sternly: "This is the Army Province, the General Staff Headquarters, the Education Director is not the street, you are not the ordinary people who don't know anything, and they must abide by military discipline if they are soldiers."

The strict discipline returned to the officers at this time. No one spoke any more. They stared at Ishihara indignantly and surrounded him, and no one left.

"Can the strategy be discussed?" Sugiyama Tsuki happened to arrive, and he immediately cheered up the young officers: "Ishihara, the whole army has fought hard for six years, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have stained the battlefield with blood. He gave up like this. How can I explain to the people?"

"The imperial army can also defeat the Chinese army again, and the imperial army is invincible in the world"

Ishihara Kanir stared at Sugiyama Yuan in extreme anger. He had never expected that the other party would launch these middle and lower-level officers to siege him, and it would be so despicable.

"Didn't you say a caesarean section? Here is a Sugiyama-kun who should have a caesarean section. Shouldn't you? In the eleventh year of Showa, you promised Your Majesty at the Imperial Conference that the war will end within three months. What about now? Six years have passed, shouldn't you have a caesarean section?"

Sugiyama's face turned red, and he destroyed China for three months. This sentence made him a laughing stock in the Japanese military and made him lose the trust of the emperor. He was able to become the Minister of the Army again because the important ministers hoped to have an obedient and weak Minister of the Army.

"Shameless" A major jumped in front of Ishihara Kanir: "You coward, Showa, you dare not start a war in eleven years, and now you retreat to the Chinese people. You are going to sell Japan to Britain, the United States and China."

"I am protecting you, you fools who are the country-breaking fools in Japan." Ishihara Kaner did not give in at all and cursed angrily: "It was your rash move that dragged Japan to the brink of destruction. You think that you are patriotic like this fool, which can only prove that you are as stupid as him."

The anger made Sugiyama Yuan dazed. He took advantage of the opportunity when Ishihara turned his head and waved his old fist. Ishihara was caught off guard and staggered forward for two steps, holding his hands in the car. Ishihara turned around and looked at Sugiyama Yuan, his heart was so cold that no one could stop the officers around him, and no one reached out to help him. On the contrary, they showed a gloating smile on their faces. In this scene, only General Sugiyama Yuan could move him.

"I want to duel with you" Sugiyama Yuan talked angrily: "Where is my knife?"

"Your Excellency, calm down, calm down." Kimura Hitotaro felt that he had to come forward to stop him. While winking at Tabi Morito, he stopped Sugiyama Sora, who was staring at Ishihara fiercely.

Tanabe Moetake did not move, Ishihara Kanir had no intention of wielding his fist at all. He sneered at Sugiyama Meta, "This represents your ability, you are only worthy of being a private."

This evaluation is really not high. Ishihara Kanir's evaluation of Tojo is Private, and Sugiyama Moto was even worse than Tojo Hideki in his words.

"Everyone is doing what you do here." Education Director Yoko Yamada appeared outside the crowd. He also participated in the joint meeting just now. He saw this scene as soon as he returned to the Army Province, which made him angry: "Ishihara Jun is the chief of staff appointed by His Majesty. He proposed a strategic plan according to the battlefield situation. Whether to adopt it will be decided by the cabinet. What are you doing? Are the besieged commanders who are in danger? You have to do the 226 again when the country is in danger?"

On the second floor of the Army Building, beside a window, two people were watching what was happening downstairs. Both of them looked gloomy. When they saw Yamada Yoko came out, they left the window.

"In fact, Ishihara's strategy is still good. Give up Jiangnan and Shanxi, strengthen North China, Manchu and Mongolia, and strive for peace talks with China."

"King Takao, isn't this just enough to meet General Okamura's requirements?" The officer pointed out the purpose of Nosuke Takao.

Ritakanosuke has been to Tokyo for two days. This time he went to Tokyo mainly because of the strange command system of the Japanese Chinese Expeditionary Force. According to the command system, the North China Expeditionary Force is a subordinate of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, but the North China Expeditionary Force is relatively powerful and has to undertake support on the Mongolian battlefield.

In the later period of this battle in Hubei, Tokyo decided to reinforce seven divisions to the Chinese battlefield. After the war, the base camp decided to rebuild the 6th Division, the 13th Division and the 17th Division that were eliminated in the battle in Hubei.

In order to revitalize the confidence of the Japanese army in Jiangnan, the base camp compressed the material quota of the Kwantung Army and the Southern Army, and deducted some of the materials from the navy. All of these materials were sent to Jiangnan to make up for their empty gun chambers due to the Battle of Northern Hubei.

But this made Okamura Yasuji in North China very dissatisfied. After carrying out a large-scale encirclement and suppression, North China devoted itself to the battle to support northern Hubei without rest. There were also few bullets in the soldiers' gun chambers. Okamura Yasuji was unable to get supplies from Nanjing, so he had to send Rigaoji to Tokyo to ask for supplies and troops.

Okamura has realized that the target of the Chinese army's next stage of attack is likely not what everyone thinks is Jiangnan, but North China.

The Battle of Hubei Province made Li Gaozhisuke feel happy, but on the surface he was as heavy as all Japanese generals. He agreed with Okamura's judgment that the next direction of the Chinese army's attack was likely to go north along the Pinghan Line and attack Shijiazhuang, and if possible, the connection between Shanxi and Hebei was broken.

"That's not," Ritakasuke said seriously: "The Chinese dispatched troops are inadequate, and they are weak in defense everywhere. It is better to concentrate their forces and determine life and death in one battle."

"Give up Jiangnan? I'm afraid the government will collapse before the order is issued here."

"General Muto," Ritakasuke sighed deeply: "Do you feel this? The war situation has reversed. Now we defend, the Chinese army attacks, and China has abundant manpower. If the equipment keeps up, as long as the casualties ratio of 2:1 can be reached, the Imperial Army will not be able to win."

"Why are you so pessimistic too?" Muto Akira was a little surprised and stared at Ritaka Nosuke coldly.

"It's not pessimism, the actual situation is just like this. In the North China battlefield, we often use few enemies to fight the majority. Peaceful rescue is OK when dealing with the GC army, but only relying on the Imperial Army to deal with the Chinese government army." Ritakanosuke's tone was low, as if he didn't see Muto Akira's gaze at all.

After a long time, Muto Akira sighed: "You are right, the war has changed."

Muto Akira was no longer the officer who advocated the expansion of conflict. After several years of war, he had quietly transformed into a dominant faction. From the bottom of his heart, he agreed with Ishihara Kanr's strategy, but he also knew that as long as he expressed his support, he would not be able to gain a foothold in this building.

It's a little late tonight, I'm sorry
