Chapter 451 How Can I Be Happy
They must go south, and that stop will be the final battle of the Battle of Wuhan. If they fight well, the future situation will be bright. If they don't fight well, then the headquarters transferred to Chongqing will face the fate of having to fight a decisive battle with them.
Therefore, the start of the war is also a battle to stabilize the situation. Both sides will not hold back on the battlefield in southern Henan, and the 74th Army, as the elite among the elite, will inevitably not escape the fate of fighting the other side.
"Fate is unfair to me after all." In the 11th Army Headquarters office, Terauchi Juichi suddenly looked ten years older and said bitterly as he looked towards the window.
His decadent look made the chief of staff next to him feel a little sorry for him.
The troops have advanced to within 50 kilometers of Wuhan, and just two hours ago, the Navy's three destroyers and 2,000 Marines had occupied Wuhan.
Although they occupied Wuhan as soon as possible, it was not bright at all. If Wuhan had not cooperated with them, how could they have achieved what they have today.
Sometimes the chief of staff wondered if the Wuhan side had a problem with their brains. Shouldn't they negotiate with the Imperial Army? If they negotiated with those idiots, what else could they get except a few warships that couldn't even land. But if they cooperated with the Imperial Army, what they would get was absolutely beyond their imagination.
The actions of that bunch of idiots completely trampled the face of the Imperial Army. Less than a minute after they occupied Wuhan, the celebratory telegram had already been sent to the headquarters.
The Imperial Army fought bloody battles for months, with tens of thousands of soldiers killed, but in the end, it became a tool for others.
Okamura Neiji was guilty, and the man in front of him was also guilty. If it weren't for them, perhaps the situation would not be like this.
God is watching what you do. The person in front of us has suffered the most severe punishment.
Because of the use of poison gas bombs, the enemy launched a crazy revenge in Tokyo and even used poison gas bombs. This time, the Empire did not find any excuses and directly explained the situation. The person in front of him, because the use of poison gas bombs caused public outrage among the people, the headquarters has ordered the removal of Terauchi Hisaichi from his post and he will report to Tokyo.
It was a narrative post, but what awaited him was only a trial and, in the end, the possibility of being dismissed from his military career.
"General, there will always be a day for you to make a comeback. You succeeded once, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to succeed again." The chief of staff didn't know how to comfort him. After thinking it over, the only thing he could do was to persuade him to be patient, as he believed that sooner or later he would be able to come back.
Terauchi Hisaichi nodded slightly. What else could he say now?
He fought for opportunities for the 11th Army, turning it into the most elite force. However, in return for this elite force, he was dismissed from his post. It seemed that he had only been in this position for less than two months.
It was the 11th Army that went up, but he himself fell down.
To be honest, he regretted it in his heart. If he had known the result would be like this, he would never have used poison gas bombs.
It is really foolish to achieve success for others and destroy oneself.
But now that things have come to this, what else can he say? Should he complain to the division commanders under him? No, he can't do that. If he did that, these people's guilt would no longer exist.
He wanted to make these people feel guilty. Only in this way would they speak for him when he made a comeback.
Without me, there would be no credit for their subsequent achievements.
Not only should you not feel wronged, you should also tell them what to do next.
"Ueda Kanekichi will take over as your commander from me. In the next battle, part of the 11th Army will inevitably go north into Henan. Henan is an opportunity, but also a hell. If we fight well, we will surely go down in history. If we don't fight well, there will naturally be repercussions. When he comes, you must tell him to be prepared for both situations, especially Okamura Yasuji. He must be careful. I have always suspected that the Yellow River breach is closely related to Okamura Yasuji."
The Yellow River was under the control of the Empire. How could the enemy go there and plant explosives? Could they be invisible? Absolutely impossible.
It was he who did it, but he had no evidence.
The chief of staff had a doubt. Seeing that the man in front of him had walked out of his grief, he asked, "General, why did the headquarters let General Ueda come instead of letting General Okamura Yasuji, who knows the enemy better, be the commander?"
"Why? Because the higher-ups don't trust me." Okamura Neiji put down the document in his hand with a faint smile and said to Yamadajima beside him.
The transfer order had been issued. He was still the commander of the 14th Division, but was also responsible for the battle in northern Henan. The 11th Army was transferred from the Kwantung Army. Okamura Neiji could accept this news, but Yamadajima thought that the headquarters was seeking a distant place instead of a nearby one. They chose the Kwantung Army, which had never fought against the enemy, instead of using the one that knew the enemy well.
Of course, this is not important. What is important is that there is no change in his position. He is still the chief of staff. Although he also serves as the chief of staff on the northern front, this is just a gimmick for him. Nothing else has changed.
"Are they still doubting that we were the ones who caused the Yellow River to burst its banks?"
"That's natural. After all, Wuhan... No, after all, the Shancheng Command has no reason to blow up the Yellow River embankment because the situation has not reached that point yet. In addition, before this, we have transferred a lot of supplies to the south, which is also a disadvantage.
"After working so hard for so long, in the end, I got nothing in return. It's really frustrating." Yamadajima had an urge to curse the headquarters.
Just because of a suspicion, they wanted to replace people. He had never seen such a willful person.
Nanzō Yunko, who was sitting next to them, glanced at the two of them. It was obvious that both of them were not very satisfied with the result this time.
One of them didn't get promoted, and neither did the other. After going around in circles, they returned to where they were, without moving a step.
Are these two people a little too proud?
She stood up and walked up to the two men and said with a smile, "Generals, please stop sighing here. In fact, this is something we should be happy about."
Happy, how can I be happy?
Yamadajima glanced sideways at the woman in front of him. To be honest, this woman was very pretty. At least he was a little tempted. Of course, this was just a thought in his mind. If he really wanted to do that, he would not do it. Who knew how many men this woman would fall in love with? He was not so hungry.
"Do you think we can be happy?"
